Yahoo has had had its fair share of problems recently, but it seems Jerry Yang's reign has addled more than just the company's share price.
According to Yahoo Buzz's Year in Review, the most searched-for term on Yahoo this year was Britney Spears (after all the NSFW searches, naturally).
Britney? Well, given her ups and downs over the past year I can handle that - even if Wired's Epicenter blog uses Spears' popularity with Yahoo users as the basis for a drawn out metaphor about how the company's stuck in the past.
But here's my question: if Britney is overall top of the pops, why is Angelina Jolie ranked as #1influential women chart? At first I thought it was the "influential" bit, since the women's list has a bunch of politicians and journalists on it. But hey, Jolie's a troubled Hollywood star who ranks highly largely for her celeb status and lips so large they were possibly stung by a swarm of crack-maddened psycho bees.
I know times are pretty confusing in Sunnyvale, but things have clearly gone too far if they're now randomly reassigning genders in their spare time.
