YouSendIt Now Lets Yahoo Mail’s 310M+ Users Easily Share Big Files
YouSendIt, the file transfer and business content collaboration service, has been trucking along of late, in spite of competition from plucky upstarts like Box. The startup has 98 percent of Fortune 500 companies on board in some form or another, and last we heard, YouSendIt had over 600K paying customers along with 30 million registered users.
In May, the company found a new CEO in Brad Garlinghouse, the former head of consumer products at AOL. Prior to AOL, the exec spent five years in various senior positons at Yahoo. Peanut butter manifestos notwithstanding, the CEO (and team) has parlayed past connections into a significant partnership with his former employer.

Much like this gif, Aol added another layer of management last week. Aol Brands got its own CEO, Susan Lyne, to round out the triumvirate of Aol Networks CEO Ned Brody and Aol Membership CEO Ned Brody. And, in an impressive sleight of hand, the company also lost a layer of management, with COO Artie Minson out, perhaps due to Patch's less-than-inspiring performance.Read similar

Iterations: Much Ado About Yahoo!
Over the past few weeks, I've been genuinely surprised by the depth and reach of the reaction to any moves made by Yahoo! As someone who hasn't been around the this place for too long, my sense is Yahoo!, despite its recent history of countless missteps, is still vitally important to the cultural memory of Silicon Valley.
