Henry Blodget Slams eBay’s Whitman: Yahoo’s Yang Next?

jy12607.jpgWill Henry Blodget be Yahoo’s biggest mistake under the Jerry Yang tenure? Considering Blodget’s latest five-paragraph thesis hails: “eBay, Time For Meg Whitman To Go?” Jerry Yang may very well be the next Blodget big-ticket headline fodder! 

Despite trying my hardest to ignore the “disgraced Wall Street analyst,” (as per Blodget fan Valleywag), the SEC fined, ex-Merrill Lynch employee, and his Kevin Ryan financed “Silicon Alley Insider (SAI),” surfaces at every Internet corner, particulalry the incestuous ones!

WHAT “Silicon Alley Insider?” I have been analyzing since that fateful Summer day when Blodget decided he was tired of being an “Internet Outsider.” Blodget and SAI company are trying their darndest to be percieved as New York-Wall Street “insiders,” despite that Blodget is banned for life from the real Wall Street.

The latest SAI stunt–”Silicon Alley 100″–proudly waives its brown nosing on its Web sleeve: New York City Mayor Bloomberg is given number one honors and his photo decorates the SAI pages, NYC-based powerhouse IAC CEO Barry Diller is runnerup, and prodigious SAI link-swapper, SAI Twitter partner, and SAI columnist Union Square Venture Fred Wilson weighs in with a respectful SAI Bronze position, earning him a photo lead as well.

Where does Yahoo fit into the SAI picture? According to Valleywag and TechCrunch, Blodget is to host a “TechTicker” finance video show for Yahoo starting in January.

Yahoo may have missed some recent SAI Blodget Yahoo “reports”:

“The Real Reason Yahoo’s Revenue Per Search Stinks”

“Google Great, Yahoo a Mess”

“Yahoo Lights On, Nobody Home”

WILL HENRY BLODGET SOON BE CALLING FOR YAHOO CEO JERRY YANG’S HEAD, VIA YAHOO’S OWN TECHTICKER???? 

PASS THE PEANUT BUTTER!
