Industry Moves: Cyrus Krohn Returns To Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| Krohn previously worked at Microsoft from 1996 through 2005, succeeding Moore
| as publisher of Slate.com and working for him at MSN Video. When Moore moved
| to Yahoo in 2005, Krohn soon followed. He left Yahoo in 2007 to head digital
| campaigning for the RNC, departing that role in early March. The Washington
| Post described his resignation as “an especially heavy blow—not just to the
| RNC, but to the conservative blogosphere.”

,----[ Quote ]
| Seattle-based Symform, a small company that provides data storage and backup
| in the Internet cloud, is announcing today a $1.5 million Series A financing
| from OVP Venture Partners in Kirkland, WA. This is the first new investment
| OVP has announced this year; the firm made six follow-on investments last
| quarter. Managing directors Mark Ashida and Lucinda Stewart are joining
| Symform’s board.

| significant step forward. The company was founded in late 2007 by
| ex-Microsoft veterans Praerit Garg and Bassam Tabbara, and has been
| developing its product for the past year and a half.

M'SOFT NOT YET ON BOARD
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft has been so cagey about the candidates it plans to nominate to
| Yahoo!'s board that speculation is mounting that the software giant actually
| doesn't have anyone lined up.
|
| [...]
|
| Also holding people back is the worry that if negotiations turn nasty,
| would-be nominees, by being part of a hostile takeover attempt, risk
| alienating both Yahoo! insiders and others who are aligned with the search
| giant.
