Memo to Jerry Yang: Use Your Shift Key
Two recent "internal memos" from Yahoo chief exec Jerry Yang have miraculously found their way into the public sphere (what are the chances?), and while the information is interesting in a saying-nothing-but-hoping-no-one-notices sorta way, the most notable element is something far more elementary: Jerry Yang hates capital letters.Here's the first paragraph from the most recent memo:
"yahoos --Good lord, man! Press the damn shift key!first off, I want to thank you for the great job you're doing staying focused on executing our priorities. there's obviously been a lot of talk about yahoo! in recent days and we won't let it distract us from pursuing our transformation strategy."
And does anyone still refer to Yahoo as "Yahoo!"?
