Yahoo!
On Friday I had a meeting with the editor of Sprout magazine. We spoke about the future of search and Yahoo came up. I told him that it was funny that a lot of people in the industry considered them gone and a ‘has been’.
But if you look at the data they are still the number one website in the world. Don’t take my word for it: try Alexa. Google isn’t even number two.
We talked a bit about how this was possible and what the future would look like. I said:
“before the end of the year Terry Semel will leave and once he does you will see the stocks go up right away.”
That was Friday, Semel left Yahoo yesterday.
Stocks went up right away.
You know what they say: even a broken clock is right twice a day.

We indeed spoke about the underperformance of Yahoo and agreed that Semel should go. Boris then made this prediction. The man is a visionary.
