Brin, Page, & Yang: What Do You Think They Were Saying?

posted on July 11, 2008


If a picture is worth a thousand words then this one is worth at least twice that. This photo is from July 10 the Allen & Co. conference in Sun Valley, Idaho. Yahoo’s founder Jerry Yang (in middle with head in hands) is talking with Google founders Larry Page (l) and Sergey Brin (r). Considering the current state of affairs of the parties represented here I have to suspect that this conversation may have gone something like this:

Larry: So Jerry, how’s it going?

Jerry: How do you think it’s going?!

Sergey: Do you think I should pack light or heavy when I get shot into space?

Well, you get the picture ;-) . What do you think a caption for this photo should read? What do you think may have been said amongst these new media giants?

C’mon, Pilgrims, it’s Friday. Get creative and give us your thoughts.

Have a great weekend!

    Looks like they’re offering Jerry a starting position in the company. Maybe a tour of duty in the mail room with potential for advancement if they see a positive attitude and solid performance. Too kind!

    Well… as the Jerry position at picture, he is not so well as he want’s to show… may be they are talking about the Yahoo’s falling stocks price and how the market react about his no for MS offer.

    Sergey: Hey Larry, did you see that movie “I Am Legend”?

    Larry: Yeah. it’s starting to feel a little like that around here…

    Jerry: Yup, I should have ordered the tuna.

    Seriously though, Jerry Yang is a brilliant man. I love the fact that he is taking such as strong stand to hold on tho the company help help built. I have gained much respect for Yahoo in recent months. Judging by the pic, it may be starting to take its toll on Mr. Yang. Fight the goof Fight!
