Carol Bartz, head of Yahoo, has some business advice for Google. It’s unclear why Ms Bartz thinks Google NEEDS her advice, but in a weird interview with The BBC, Ms Bartz said that Google is heading for problems, unless it takes her advice. She explains:
“Google is going to have a problem because Google is only known for search.” “…It is only half our business; it’s 99.9% of their business. They’ve got to find other things to do.”
Yahoo has often been accused of over diversifying and acquiring dozens of great websites, which often fade into nothing after the acquisition. This prompted Mike Arrington’s techcrunch to famously proclaim that Yahoo is; “where start-up’s go to die! Those sites that have managed to survive, like photo sharing site Flickr, have been called out for Yahoo’s failure to brand them as part of Yahoo.
