Jerry Yang. Not quite a year ago, the former Chief Yahoo turned down an offer from Microsoft to buy his company for $33 a share. Yahoo's current stock price? $9. Then he negotiated a revenue sharing ad deal with Google that was supposed to save the company, only to have Google step away when the Feds smelled an antitrust rat. Now he wants Microsoft to come back. (Their response? As if.) Personally, I've never been a fan of the MicroHoo concept, but . Avian breed: Turkey of the Year, or possibly just a Dead Duck.

Here's hoping they all get stuffed.

That's the short list, but it's hardly complete. Who do you think were the biggest turkeys of the year? E-mail me: cringe@infoworld.com.
