Google hasn't been prone to sweeping, top-down reorganizations; instead, its practice has been to expand divisions organically, and split groups up when they become unwieldy. But we hear that Google's going through a reorg now. Details are scant, but David Eun, Google's vice president for content partnerships, is…
A tipster tells us that the rumor of a reorg in Yahoo marketing isn't news — because the company's structure is always in flux. And Allen Olivo, the Yahoo executive who figured into the most recent reorg rumor, is part of the problem, the tipster adds:
According to the BusinessofVideo.com blog, Microsoft is shaking up its audio- and video-software business:
Mark Rubash, the Yahoo finance executive who recently left the troubled Web giant — this, despite having the favor of new president Sue Decker — emailed Valleywag to deny that he lost a turf war with Rachel Glaser. If anything, he won the turf war, he says, getting offered a job in which he would have overseen…
After 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…

Victory is sweet. Redoing the org chart so suit your whims? Even sweeter. While Yahoo president Sue Decker may not have the CEO title yet, thanks to a sweeping reorganization, she has practically all the power. Kara Swisher at AllThingsD got a copy of Decker's memo to the staff. As we reported earlier, Hilary…
Not since Biggie vs. Tupac have the East and West coasts been embroiled in as bloody a feud as Dodgeball versus Twitter. Since the former was acquired by Google, it's been the subject of occasionally surfacing rumors that it may be culled or consolidated inside a broader Google mobile offering. Twitter user cee-dub …
Regarding Thomas Hawk getting referral traffic from a private Flickr forum discussing the possible Flickr-Yahoo Photos consolidation:
When Dave Goldberg and Bob Roback abruptly resigned from Yahoo Music, neither they nor Yahoo provided any particular explanation for the move. Yahoo gives only the "personal reasons" chestnut, with Goldberg and Roback declaring airy aspirations for a return to "entrepreneurial roots." The explanatory void leaves the…
Thomas Hawk (CEO of Flickr competitor Zooomr) riffed on our prediction that Yahoo Photos would be terminated, with the possible coda of having its users and content ported to Flickr. Most of the reaction from Hawk and elsewhere focuses not on the demise of Yahoo Photos, but rather on the idea of a great unwashed mob…
Time to upgrade this from rumor to unannounced fact — that's our bet, anyway. "Consolidation" was the word seized upon most in Yahoo exec Brad Garlinghouse's "Peanut Butter Manifesto." And consolidating the duplicate services provided by post-acquisition Flickr and Yahoo Photos makes sense. Flickr founder Stewart…
