Yahoo’s board has responded to activist investor Carl Icahn: “Your letter reflects a significant misunderstanding of the facts about the Microsoft proposal.” That letter–delivered by Icahn earlier Thursday (Techmeme)–has one theme: Yahoo’s board botched the Microsoft deal and hasn't served shareholder interest. In its rebuttal letter, Yahoo Chairman Roy Bostock said: Unfortunately, your letter reflects...

Amazon's Kindle may meaningfully contribute to the e-tailer’s revenue in a couple of years, according to Citigroup analyst Mark Mahaney. Mahaney's take–delivered in a research note outlining the bullish case for Amazon–takes a few leaps (Techmeme). Mahaney has little data on the Kindle (just like the rest of us); enjoys the device after being an early [...]

As we approach WWDC, the Apple rumors and chatter is increasing. Just watch TechMeme for a day or so and you'll see what I mean. Yesterday there was talk of an Intel exec supposedly stating that Apple was going to come out with a larger iPhone device running an Atom processor. There was good reason to [...]

It must truly be a slow news day. Upon visiting the Techmeme homepage earlier, I was greeted by a front page headline (i.e. top news story) that spotlights the bicker between Michael Arrington and Wired. Is this truly the most interesting, pertinent, hot topic item of the moment? Is [...]

Given the popularity of FriendFeed, it's surprising that we haven't seen many memetrackers appear for the site. Today French developer Michael Mortchelewicz has unveiled FriendFeedLinks, which attempts to fill that void. Compared to other memetrackers like TweetMeme and RSSMeme, FriendFeedLinks has a very spartan interface. There are no summaries or discussions to speak of - [...]

Business people can be hip too. That appears to be the message from Research in Motion and its motives behind its new BlackBerry Bold smartphone. There’s definitely a hint of some iPhone envy here, but the device isn't a direct competitor. From the statement (Matthew Miller’s take, Techmeme): Crafted from premium materials, inside and out, that radiate [...]

Today was Duncan Riley's last day at TechCrunch, and he will be greatly missed. Duncan joined us exactly one year ago and was our most prolific writer, covering tech and startup news seven days a week. He is the author of our highest trafficked post ever, and, based on TechMeme headline counts, he is the [...]

I'm surprised at the interest this little chart caused: The analysis of the post was spot on, but a lot of the reactions were far off (techmeme [1]). Now the meme is back [2] (albeit on track this time). I think the platform's unfairly getting a bad rap with many writers overly criticizing the platform. Boomtown and AlleyInsider criticized the platform as trivial, essentially saying apps were trivial...

One of the favorite bitchmeme’s on Techmeme, the popular blog and news headline site that keeps track of the most talked-about tech stories on the Web, is that it is dominated by A-list blogs and news sites with full-time writing staffs. Because of this professionalization of the blogosphere, the argument goes, lone bloggers are [...]

I’ve blogged several times about the over-the-top thinking going on with the TechMeme Leaderboard crowd when it comes to the proposed Microsoft-Yahoo merger. The sensationalism might have encouraged traffic, but much of it sure was borderline business advice. Now that the deal is undone, maybe we can all get back to talking about tech. Of all [...]

The tech business news this weekend has been all about the collapse of the Microsoft takeover bid for Yahoo. Every shade of opinion on what it all means has been offered during the past 24 hours, as the Techmeme bubble can attest. Here in the UK, it's been a top headline news item on the hour [...]

And who are the winners in the aftermath of the Yahoo saga. Here’s your cheat sheet to the aftermath (Techmeme, blog focus, Microsoft statement, Yahoo response, News.com roundup) . Winners… Google.
