The big news is already old news. It's not that traditional online advertising will go away, but its profitability will suffer as it becomes diminishing-returns efficient.
I'm hoping that this time Yahoo is (finally) able to apply some smarts in the human capital area. Maybe this time the huge upheavals and chaos this reduction in force will create actually leaves the best and brightest on staff.
