Jerry Yang, the new CEO (and cofounder) of Yahoo during a conference call with analysts following Yahoo’s lackluster Q2 2007 earnings said he is going to take a 100 days to review the entire operation. “There will be no sacred cows and we need to move quickly,” he said.

The single biggest problem Yahoo has on its hands: the advertising community has a perception of Yahoo being a laggard, and are not enamored by the great white hope, Panama.
