Yahoo, the next Altavista?

man... just read today that they are cutting 15 percent of staff and the company is now seen as a risk for investors as its model is outdated and because the alibaba deal really didn't take off
Yahoo was good for me in the 90's early 00's as I used some of the groups to bring traffic, not big conversion like Usenet those days but it was ok
I see Yahoo being taken by other big internet company any time soon, they wll keep it online for a while and then kaput
who would say?

Yahoo might be good if they cut the correct 15% because there seems to be an employee problem at yahoo.

I often click on a news story and get redirected to an unrelated news story.
It seems to be on purpose because the redirects have a pattern.
The pattern always involves a news story about crime.
Overall the pattern is rather fucking ugly.

Most of Yahoo's value currently is because of Alibaba. Yahoo has been wandering in a daze for at least ten years, and its days are probably numbered. I still laugh when I think of Jerry Yang turning down Microsoft's offer of $34/share or whatever it was.

Yahoo itself can suck.

But its what they own.

I know they have adverts with yahoo mail, and probably on other sites they own.

So they probably make a lot of cash from that.

Chances are they will just buy start ups that are doing well, and build up a portfolio.

That's seems to be the key these days, buy lots of start ups and have them run along side each other.

GeoCities was purchased by Yahoo! for $3.57 billion in stock in 1999

GeoCities was not yet profitable (it having declared an $8 million loss for the final quarter of 1998)

news flash: Yahoo hasn't been relevant ever since Google. For the last 10 years, it may as well have been Alta Vista as far as I'm concerned.
