Yahoo announced its first-quarter earnings today, showing a continued worrisome revenue growth stall, due in large part to declines in search revenue from its partnership with Microsoft.
The Silicon Valley Internet giant reported revenues of $1.06 billion, down six percent from a year ago, on net earnings of 17 cents a share, down 28 percent.

Yahoo said its net income spiked to $310 million, or 22 cents a share, in the first quarter. Revenue, after subtracting what Yahoo pays in advertising commissions, was $1.13 billion.
Wall Street was expecting earnings of nine cents per share and net revenue of $1.17 billion.
It is the best performance under the leadership of CEO Carol Bartz yet, helped by a turnaround in the online advertising industry.

Sorry for the break in grading Yahoo’s Carol Bartz on her one-year anniversary as CEO.
But BoomTown was swanning around the Sundance Film Festival in Utah this weekend, went partying with those boozy Hollywood types and ended up in Provo with the crazy gals from “The Runaways”!
I
wish! Actually, running away from issuing any grade for deal-making for Bartz is a pretty good way to put it.
Because today, after much thought, I have to give the Yahoo leader an incomplete for deal-making.

As BoomTown previously reported, VMware officially confirmed today that it is buying Yahoo’s Zimbra open-source email unit.
Financial terms were not disclosed, but sources said the price was well below the $350 million Yahoo paid for the start-up in late 2007.
Sources also said there is a large employee-retention element to the sale to encourage Zimbra’s 110 employees to make the move to VMware.
VMware said the acquisition is expected to close in the first calendar quarter of 2010.
