Yahoo slashes 10% of workforce
 

Yahoo keeps slipping with the economic downturn and has plans to cut another 1500 jobs. Apparently they keep pursuing a deal with google and that is still in negotiations.

May be bad deal for those sites SEO savy in yahoo yet week in google :(

"Meanwhile, Google announced last week that its profits jumped a better-than-expected 26% in the third quarter. Google has continued to report strong growth despite the economic downturn thanks to its dominance in search advertising."

at the end of the day the web will have

one book store
one search engine
one bidding site
one pornsite with 5000 prechecks crosssells
one social networking site
one free email site
one large news site

question is who will be the last man standing

and yes companies spend money on online ads if they not spending it in overture msn yahoo dogpile ask findwhat knoodle etc etc they spending it on google

Geez that sucks

Economy of America just sucks. It affects everything

They should of merged with Microsoft.

Yahoo has more traffic then Google, they just can't make money off it. Say what you will about Microsoft, but they know how to make money.

Google announcing "strong" growth despite the economy due to search advertising... hmmm

Makes me wonder if were not so much in the wrong market despite a potential democratic party in office

Yahoo screw their advertisers.
The only good thing with a Yahoo and Google merger is that yahoo will start to give good results.

Isn't that all we really need anyways plus one Forum of course.:pimp

hell yeah

I wish they did buy Yahoo and then implement their algo.

I think yahoo just implemented google's... noticed some switches about 2 months back

Thats what I meant, but no they are not currently using Google's algo although it would be interesting to see what would happen.

lots of adult companies slashing workforces too.

LOTS.

Start with the builder's and go from there...

BTW, Pulte Homes announcing earnings tomorrow... WILL affect outlook on the market.
Predict we are going to see some market crashing going on thursday...
