The Super Network
Julio Daio Borges
These days, the company [Yahoo!] has two distinct faces. In Silicon Valley, a band of happy hackers, the descendants of [Jerry] Yang and [David] Filo, work to out-engineer the guys up the street at Google. In Santa Monica, 350 miles south, the Yahoo! Media Group has slapped down $100 million for a 10-year lease on the 230,000-square-foot Yahoo! Center, formerly MGM's home. The office park covers an entire city block, squatting amid the offices of HBO, MTV, Lion's Gate, and Universal. The company won't comment on its mission in LA, but in an internal email making rounds on the Web, Yahoo! COO Dan Rosensweig says, "The growing consumer demand for compelling content on the Internet and the proliferation of broadband is an exciting opportunity. We need to enhance our presence in the entertainment capital of the world."
