EXCLUSIVE PHOTO: Jerry Yang Still Open to a Microsoft Deal

Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang said in an interview today that he’s still open to a deal with Microsoft.

Yang told Reuters, referring to Microsoft’s execs after they walked away from their takeover efforts Saturday: “If they have anything new to say, we would be open…I am more than willing to listen.”

After Yahoo’s precipitous stock drop today, this kind of backfilling is not a surprise, of course.

So, what more can BoomTown say, except that a picture is worth a thousand words?

    Microsoft will save about 10 Billion or more by walking away from Yahoo now, as the stock continues to drop. Later, when they come back and re-bid, the offer will be lower.

    Meanwhile, with the money they save, they can go shopping for things they would need even if they bought Yahoo, because these are companies that Yahoo should have bought.

I break down a product the same way I break down a character I’m going to play. I try to get inside the mind of that person — the user, the consumer — and figure out why they’re doing something and what they want from it.
