Paul Graham On What Happened to Yahoo

Paul Graham tells what went wrong, from his perspective, with Yahoo. “When I went to work for Yahoo after they bought our startup in 1998, it felt like the center of the world. It was supposed to be the next big thing. It was supposed to be what Google turned out to be ... What went wrong?” According to Paul, “Yahoo had two problems Google didn’t: easy money, and ambivalence about being a technology company.”
