Yahoo May Hold Online Properties Garage Sale

October 8, 2009

Short honk: A happy quack to the reader who sent me a link to Business Insider’s run down of Yahoo properties that are for sale. The information is presented in a series of pages in an article called “Yahoo: What’s For Sale, What’s Not, And What Could Be”. I have not been paying close attention to Yahoo because the deal with Microsoft leaves me with quite a few questions. I clicked through the links and noticed that one of the properties in the list was Yahoo Games. Another that caught my attention was Delicious, also on the Business Insider list. Assume that Yahoo does sell these online properties. The company will generate some cash. My view is that by streamlining itself, the firm may benefit more by reducing some information technology costs. Business Insider’s list is thought provoking in my opinion.
