LIVE: Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz’s First Annual Meeting
Posted on June 25, 2009 |
I'll be liveblogging the Yahoo annual meeting this morning at the Santa Clara Marriott in Silicon Valley, network willing. This year's meeting is sure to have less drama than the last two, when Yahoo was embroiled in management turmoil and, in 2008, in Microsoft's aborted bid to buy the company. CEO Carol Bartz, coming up on her sixth month as CEO, replacing cofounder Jerry Yang, probably won't have anything concrete to announce about Yahoo's strategy, which she's expected to talk about at an October analyst meeting. The likely lack of specifics, not to mention the unlikelihood of any drama, may explain why there are relatively few shareholders here.
I'll update this post from the bottom, so keep refreshing for the latest. And you can listen to the Webcast here.
10:00 a.m.: And we're underway with the usual slick video, with Regis Philbin, yodelers, and so on saying Yahoo about a gazillion times in the process of showing how many different services the company offers. (Regis even called it a search engine.)
