Lloyd Braun - Yet another half-assed oaf-like onanisty

#1 Post by etaoin22 » Thu Jan 31, 2008 5:53 am

Fired at Yahoo.

Last month.

This may have been discussed, and I missed, but in random surfing yesterday, I came across this page. Mostly written, it seems, by munchkins who were well below the Cassius level of underling at the Yahoo club, if I infer correctly. And did not like being in his line of authority.

Oh darn, the page is no longer in my browser history.

However, the theme was that the ex-TV ex-ec understood little of the connection between content and technology, and did less . Taking into consideration, that what he was hired to do, one assumes, was to bring in content-area expertise, and exec skills. In order to make the Entertainment Group more like a network.

Given that his involvement greenlighting "Lost" had restored his credibility (':wink:')



:wink:

I hate to see my former companion and co-conspirator once again be forced to the unemployment line. Poor guy....

You know, Lloyd, I could use a new intern....

Have you ever tasted any of his coffee? It has a strong ammonia kick to it....

Lloyd left Yahoo! a long time ago. He was behind the ratings juggernaut Duel that ABC aired.

Microsoft has offered to buy Yahoo! for $44,600,000,000.
