Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into last Friday’s poem…
Woo
whimsical was once at the heart of the innovation of yahoo — the stuff of red plus blue.
Woo
no longer can the stuff be found — with the layoffs of the past — most likely coming back around.

there once was a company named yahoo.
a great directory there was for all of you
but then neglect
with leadership wrecked
bid 20% of their workforce adieu.

Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into last Thursday’s poem…
once —
there once was a time when microsoft and yahoo working together was both exciting and controversial. the thought of it generated a ton of speculation online. and yahoo was / is in shambles, Terry Semel on Yahoo’s board, left.
— again
the proposed purchase price from steve balmer of microsoft to yahoo was $44.6B. an amount we never expect to see expressed between the twain again. with the future year’s earnings at the time, and since then, looking bleak, weak.

Four days since Terry left the board
Four more quarters – the future year, abhorred
Point by point, product by product – 
Steve offers an amount that only Microsoft can afford
6 new opinions for every two other – To the blogosphere and media they poured
Billions of eyeballs, perhaps the sought prize – And the end of the day. Each one hoping to not be ignored.

Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into last Thursday’s poem…
for A
foray into the debate over the then recently launched product by a company known better for the letter ‘Y’. yahoo launched a site supposed targeted to the woman and girl with topics decidedly ‘lady like’ and possibly as described superficially and befitting the most common of feminine stereotypes. a website targeting half the population, a website with no tech, no science, no sports, …
strained
as excessive as the pandering to the ‘typical’ woman so too the excessive, exclusive use of ‘S’ to convey the strained definition that was/is applied then/now

Several seemingly say
She’s sexes so seem
Sought supplemental supplements,
Same similar sentiments.
So some surely salute,
Some several so spurn,
Suggestions — speakings …
Sex, silliness, style, stars.
Sine such stuff surely,
Suggestively studly…
Science, sports,
Software, stocks.
Supplying stories,
Sets, stuck self-evident
So shows shiny,
Shiny Shine.

My librarian,
Yes, all’s mine,
Sitting over there,
Reading, definitely wise.
My librarian,
Who helps me,
Finding — I need found,
Showing, just what I seek.
My librarian,
A wave – I shout “Yahoo!”
Hearkens to days of past,
Organized, structured too.
My librarian,
Clearly, new around here,
Finding and sharing each,
Dulcinea, my sweet love, I beg, I do beseech.
