Schmidt, Zuckerberg, Bartz Top All-Star Web 2.0 Summit Lineup

November 17th, 2010 | No Comments

SAN FRANCISCO& The Web 2.0 Summit 2010 boasted no shortage of star power for its keynote conversations hosted by show creators Tim O’Reilly and John Battelle. Google CEO Eric Schmidt kicked things off Nov. 15 by waving around a phone that appeared to be the Nexus S, an Android 2.3 handset allegedly from Samsung. Schmidt discussed a lot more topics and was careful to note that Google is being super careful about privacy. He noted that people have to explain when they’re joking, a reference to some flip comments he’s made that were taken literally. Tuesday, Nov. 16 was the master list of keynotes, including Shantanu Narayen, CEO of Adobe; HP Palm’s Jon Rubinstein, RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie, Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz, and of course, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, whose company is arguably the hottest in the world in terms of pre-IPO buzz. Interspersed with this were several other events, including a semantic joust between venture capital whizzes John Doerr from Kleiner Perkins Caulfield and Byars and Union Square Ventures’ Fred Wilson, who argued over whether ideas or execution matter. But the keynote conversations were also quite spicy, as detailed below in this eWEEK slide show. – …

Google Needs to Diversify, Says Yahoo’s Bartz

April 30th, 2010 | No Comments

Google needs to expand beyond its base in search, Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz reportedly said during an interview with BBC News. Although Yahoo signed a 10-year search-and-advertising deal with Microsoft that will see Bing power the Web company’s back-end search processes, Yahoo executives have insisted that the company remains viable thanks to its end-user services. Recent surveys indicate that Yahoo occupies a position in the U.S. search market well behind Google and slightly ahead of Bing, although a recent $100 million search campaign seems to have had a negligible effect on reversing Yahoos market-share erosion.
– Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz insisted during an
interview with BBC News that Google, its erstwhile competitor, could face
serious issues in the future.
Â“Google is going to have a problem because Google is only known for
search Â… it is only half our business; its 99.9 [percent] of their
business,Â” Ba…

Yahoo Could Take Years to Recover, Says CEO Bartz

March 3rd, 2010 | No Comments

Yahoo could emulate Apple in the 1990s in taking years to restore itself to competitive health, CEO Carol Bartz told reporters during a March 2 event to commemorate Yahoo’s 15th anniversary. Although Yahoo has aggressively sought to expand its more popular features while cutting underperforming applications and programs, the company has seen its U.S. search-engine market share decline in recent months. A 10-year agreement with Microsoft will see Bing power Yahoos back-end search, allowing Yahoo to focus primarily on designing its offerings in ways that appeal to a broad number of users.
– Yahoo could take years to return to strength, according to
CEO Carol Bartz, who compared her struggling
Internet company to Apple circa the return of Steve Jobs as
CEO in 1997.

quot;It took him four years, quot; Bartz told the Associated Press and other media during a March 2 meeting to
co…
