Yahoo’s Head Of Advertising Platforms To Leave Company

Wise started at Yahoo when the company acquired Right Media in 2007. Prior to that, he served as Right Media’s president, the CEO of Didit, a senior vice president at Ask, and a vice president at DoubleClick (among other things), which makes for a tough-to-match resume.

Solid replacement already lined up, at least

Although it’s hard to imagine that any company keeps all its employees forever, it looks like Yahoo continues to be worse than average in terms of retaining important people. This afternoon, a report revealed that Bill Wise, who is in charge of Yahoo’s Advertising Platforms business, will leave the same as so many before him.

Yahoo Wise started at Yahoo when the company acquired Right Media in 2007. Prior to that, he served as Right Media’s president, the CEO of Didit, a senior vice president at Ask, and a vice president at DoubleClick (among other things), which makes for a tough-to-match resume.

Yahoo’s already found a replacement, however, in the form of Ramsey McGrory. McGrory, like Wise, worked for Right Media before Yahoo bought it, and put in three years at DoubleClick, too. What’s more, McGrory was even employed by the Army for about eight years.

Then here’s one other important point: Staci D. Kramer, who first reported this move, indicated that Wise isn’t just cleaning out his desk and disappearing; he’ll instead work with McGrory during a transition period.

Yahoo may not have the whole «keep people from quitting» thing down, then, but the company seems to have gotten extremely good at minimizing the damage due to their departures.

Google Buzz is the next big thing in the social media. If you remember, a lot of people disregarded Twitter in its early days. Those who jumped on the bandwagon from the very start managed to build a large following while those who gave up on the service early found out soon enough what they had missed out too. The jury is still out on Google Buzz, but you certainly don’t want to ignore the community. It has some potential, and it never hurts to distribute your content on as many social networking sites as possible.

The best way to get your readers to submit your posts to Google Buzz is by adding a Google Buzz button to your blog. You can always do that by grabbing scripts from social media tracking websites. Another way to do that is by taking advantage of Google Buzz WordPress plugins.
