Save Yahoo from Microsoft!

If you went to Yahoo today, you may have noticed its message for stockholders on the front page. Long story short: some guy wants to rip Yahoo apart and sell it to Microsoft for a quick buck. Yahoo wants stockholders to vote against this dismemberment.

Fortunately, the message seems to be coming through loud and clear. I’m not a big fan of putting worthless drama on your front page, but this is not worthless drama. It’s not blog comment drama, and it’s certainly not 4chan drama. It’s $44.6 billion drama.

If you’re Filipino, Yahoo’s probably your email address and instant messenger, and those of your loved ones as well. You may not own Yahoo stock, but your readers might. Let them know how you feel about Microsoft trying to tear your portal apart.

I’m not the world’s biggest Yahoo fan, but I don’t want to see it torn apart by Microsoft.

Multiply Bitches to Users About TechCrunch Comments

I just saw this in an email from Multiply:

One particular article, posted on TechCrunch, received a few replies from loyal Multiply users, who were subsequently accused, by a couple misinformed commenters, of being Multiply employees (or “plants”) posting fake comments! (For the record, we would never do that.)

Multiply sent this email to all its users. I don’t know about you, but I find it hard to respect a company that bitches to its users about drama on someone else’s blog comments.
