Yahoo's new grudge match
Owen Thomas · 08/30/07 11:27AMAfter yesterday's hastily announced reorganization, there are, besides president Sue Decker, two executives at Yahoo who matter: Hilary Schneider, newly crowned queen of ad sales and partnerships, and Jeff Weiner, king of content. Not all Yahoos are happy about Schneider's ascension, though. When Schneider first joined Yahoo, she was handed Yahoo's floundering "marketplace" businesses — local ads, classifieds, auctions, personals, online stores, and job listings. Most of those were businesses Weiner used to run — and more effectively, insiders say, than Schneider did.
