Yahoo! CEO Terry Semel pulled no punches yesterday at the Web 2.0 conference when he said Google doesn’t “seem to have a plan.” Given Semel is media savvy, the question is what was he trying to achieve by dissing Google so publicly? Is Yahoo! simply frustrated Google gets so much attention for things such as sponsoring Wi-Fi sites in San Francisco? Maybe Yahoo! has decided to finally throw down the gauntlet as Google emerges as its biggest rival for online advertising business.
Our Take: Semel does raise a valid point about Google’s focus. Other than search, Google seems to be scattered strategically.
