Yahoo has decided to lump the hosers in with the Eurotrash, adding Canada to the Yahoo Europe team now headed by exec Toby Coppel. Why? Ostensibly because “Canada’s multicultural diversity parallels Europe; and Canadian sites operate in English and French,” Coppel claims in an inadvertently hilarious memo sent to all European and Canadian employees.
I thought it was interesting that they cited the bilingual website as one of the reasons this move made sense – even though Yahoo.com has the Spanish language “Yahoo Telemundo“…
I hope the Canadian Yahoo’s are morning people ’cause I’m guessing their team conference calls probably all just shifted forward 6 or 7 seven hours.
