Yahoo! Set to Celebrate 10th Anniversary
Co-founders Jerry Yang and David Filo parlayed Yahoo Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO - news) from a college hobby into a full-time job 10 years ago, but the Internet icon was never quite comfortable with the happy-go-lucky mood of the dot-com boom.
It's not that Yang and Filo don't like to have fun. After all, they gave their company a name often associated with rubes and adopted a joyful yodel as their calling card.
"We were certainly not sophisticated or civilized," Yang joked during an interview with The Associated Press ahead of the March 2 anniversary of Yahoo's inception.
