"Now what if Marissa used Yahoo as a bully pulpit, to address the needs of a market that is roughly 50% or more of the global internet population? What if Yahoo began acquiring or partnering with properties specifically relevant to women, like Pinterest, ShoeDazzle, Gilt Groupe, BabyCenter, Oprah, People, Etsy, Ellen Degeneres, Martha Stewart (or BritMorin.com). What about working with startups doing healthcare & wellness like EcoMom, career advice like Daily Muse, finance education like Daily Worth, children’s activities like ActivityHero, and photo sites like PicCollage? (sorry shameless 500 Startups plugs there ;) What if Yahoo went back to its vision for media and entertainment, and acquired services like EventBrite for ticketing, Hulu or Netflix for video, and perhaps picked up Zynga (which appeals to mostly women) for gaming?" - × × ×
