Srinija Srinivasan leaves Yahoo

Once The Most Powerful Person In Search, Srinija Srinivasan Leaves Yahoo, Danny Sullivan ,Search Engine Land (Aug 3)

Haven't seen Srinija Srinivasan's name in the news for a very long time. She was the head of the directory - or "ontological yahoo" - and vice-president and editor-in-chief. But age of directories is over.

"Yahoo", Danny Sullivan writes, "wasn’t about the sheer volume of content. It was about listing the best of the web. That helped it stand well above the other players in popularity, in my belief, because it was well above them in relevancy."

She has moved on to being chair of the board of SFJazz - San Francisco Jazz Festival.
