The Yahoo board seems to be officially in full retreat (if not virtual surrender) in response to the assaults from Dan Loeb’s Third Point which began last year.
You know the litany: Last year Yahoo sacked its CEO, and as this year began it hired a replacement. In December Yahoo founder Jerry Yang resigned from the board. Last week, four more directors agreed to step aside; the board named two new outsiders to the board and promised to find more.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
