Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang announced today that he was, finally, stepping down from his role at the troubled internet mammoth. Promoted to the position over a year ago, Yahoo has seen drastic cuts in its workforce, turning down a $47.5 billion takeover offer from Microsoft, and failing to make an advertising partnership deal with Google. (The Sunnyvale-based company's closing price landed at $10.63 today -- compared to the $33 a share it say during the Microsoft offer earlier this year.) According to the New York Times, "Yahoo said in a statement that Mr. Yang would return to his earlier role as “Chief Yahoo,” a corporate visionary role, and remain on the company’s board."
