**Open Memo to Terry Semel**

Dear Mr. Semel;

Please take a walk over to the Yahoo Publisher department and put the fear of God into your software engineer(s).

Yahoo is losing at LEAST $200 million a year in revenue due to poor ad targeting on their Publisher product.

After you threaten to fire all of them in within 48 hours (because that's how long it should take to fix this), here are some hints to give to your now alert software engineer(s):

1) ford trucks <> teeth whitening
2) mortgage loan <> plastic surgery
3) real estate <> cosmetic dentistry

---- Key: "<>" means "does not equal" in geek speak ----

Thank you, and I'm looking forward to seeing the improvements in the Publisher product as well as my stock portfolio. Also, I don't want Google to own the entire internet, and Yahoo seems to be trying very hard to give it to them right now.

Best regards;
rehabguy
