Scott LURRRVVVESS de cock....

Yahoo has never done anything well except buy other companies and run them into the ground. It's a horribly managed company from top to bottom. I wouldn't get my hopes up.

The new CEO comes from Google and was the lead on a few of their large profile projects.

There's SOME hope for them. Not much, but some.

Oh, my bad. I watched the video. Its a browser that shows preview thumbs and therefore "completely redefines browsing the web". I guess they are cutting edge. Putting in my buy orders for this stock now.

Google has failed at almost everything they've done besides search. Anyone can simply make a product happen. But it takes a Steve Jobs type visionary to understand what people will want next and how bad they'll want it BEFORE they even know they want it.

Yahoo's single largest problem from a business standpoint is simple. They have no identity. They stand for nothing. They do nothing well. They are known for nothing. Customers have no idea what "Yahoo!" is. Yahoo has no idea what Yahoo is. No one can easily finish this sentence "Yahoo is the best...."

When they were letting Microsoft take over their search engine, they even denied being a search engine in spite of being #2/3 in the search market.

It looks like a pulse knockoff

Gmail is hardly a failure. Or Maps, or Streetview or Earth. Or Adsense/Adwords. Or Analytics. Youtube seems to be surviving their takeover. Android is the dominant Smartphone. Chrome is the dominant browser. I think they're doing fairly okay.

Nice mythologizing but in the real world, outside the realms of tablets and music, most people don't want Apple products.

This is true. TBH it's only when threads like this appear I even remember Yahoo still exists.

The break up of Microsoft and NBC over cable channel MSNBC could be a life line for Yahoo.

No longer required to use only Microsoft for web, NBC has already launched some co-op stuff with Yahoo now that they don't have to use Bing.

too little too late.

Has something changed in regards to the Yahoo search engine??

:helpme

Nope, but now NBC News is not restricted to only using Bing, perhaps the association of NBC News and Yahoo may help Yahoo regain some credibility.

They sure could use some.

As i said, "most". As in the vast majority. I didn't say "every". The list of failures is very long.

BTW... a great deal of Adwords platform is licensed from Yahoo/Overture.

[QUOTE]Nice mythologizing but in the real world, outside the realms of tablets and music, most people don't want Apple products.

I don't have apple products besides my Iphone and wouldn't miss Apple if they dropped off the earth tomorrow. But I'd say its pretty clear when judging by the proliferation of their many products, their sales, the launch success after launch success after launch success - all over the planet, that most people want Apple products.

For those that can remember, there was a time when we were all going online (96/97) and it was widely thought that the internet was going to rule every aspect of our lives and every decision we made from news, to banking, to shopping, to communicating etc. So AOL, Yahoo, Excite etc etc etc all tried to be those command and control centers, offering everything to everyone. Then in 98' Google came alone with nothing but a blank page and a search form and blew them all out of the water in an insane amount of time. These guys never learned from that. I guess its hard to take a very unfocused and undisciplined company and start focusing as it means trimming a great deal of fat, cutting a lot of business lines and doing a lot of things that outwardly seem very destructive and that inside cause a lot of worry and concern as jobs get cut. I know Yahoo has been taking a lot of steps to focus which is great.

I just thought it was extremely bizarre and typical of them, to launch a "revolutionary experience" which is basically the same thing we already have and are used to. I mean, its a new product with a big flashy launch and there is nothing about it that makes you think "Wow, thats fucking awesome... i really need to try that" but they've clearly put a lot into it. If the launch can't make you want it, then where does the project stand.

That, is Yahoo!.

Since it has been live since May and no one is raving about using it, I'd say no.

Scott is kinda "awkward"
