So farewell Jerry Yang

Oodles of speculation and comment about the announcement of Yang's departure as CEO from Yahoo!.
The best commentary is from the excellent Kara Swisher and the Boomtown blog from the Wall Street Journal (which broke the story). She points out that Yahoo! is still a huge internet asset and can still shine, given the right leadership.
For another interesting take, read how Microsoft's aggressive lobbying in Washington helped to sink the Google/Yahoo! deal (and ultimately Yang) in a fascinating post by CNET News's chief political correspondent.
