Yahoo, under intense pressure, reorganised its upper management on Thursday in a plan designed to improve its products, underlying technology, and operational execution, the company said.
Microsoft's efforts to reach some sort of arrangement with Yahoo have broken down again, Yahoo confirmed on Thursday.
Microsoft on Saturday issued an ultimatum to Yahoo, giving the Internet search pioneer three weeks to enter formal merger negotiations and conclude a deal.
If Microsoft acquires Yahoo, the deal may leave the pair's joint venture partnerships with PBL Network and the Seven Network on shaky ground.
Yahoo is headed for a reorganisation that, combined with an exodus of top Yahoo executives, will in all likelihood put power in dramatically fewer hands.
If there ever was an opportunity for a broadcaster to showcase the potential of internet video, this was it, and Seven has blown it. Perhaps its executives should have rung their mates at NBC in the US and gotten some pointers on online coverage.
I get the feeling there will be a lot of tired tech buzzwords from fads gone by which will be wheeled out soon with the suffix "2.0" bolted on.
How feasible is it that you could escape paying hefty licensing fees by using software subsidised by advertisements?
Nobody, least of all Yahoo and Google, doubted that the two companies' search-advertising deal would escape any antitrust scrutiny.
On Saturday, Microsoft formally withdrew its offer to acquire the search pioneer, at least for now. So what happens next for Yahoo? A deal with Google looks likely.

Microsoft has added the Office moniker to its upcoming enterprise instant-messaging software in a branding move intended to heighten the product's appeal to potential business buyers.
Microsoft is forcing people to upgrade to newer versions of its instant messenger application and is shutting its doors to third-party IM products such as Trillian.
The ease and convenience of instant messaging has made it popular with users. But is instant messaging a curse or a boon for the office environment?
