I honestly can't remember the last time I used Yahoo to search for anything. However, I do end up on their page on most days for something or other..usually news. If I want to search I go to google.

Yahoo has plenty of great stuff, but that is just not the issue.

How many times have you seen something really great fail anyway?

If the cards say you lose then there is no winning strategy no matter how you play the hand.

Yahoo fucked up when they started charging for inclusion into their directory. That was charging you to provide them with content. Their directory has all but died. It isn't worth shit to be included anymore.

Now they have a video section which hotlinks your fucking videos...of course I redirect to a pay site when the surfer clicks. But how stupid is this considering that they already had porn listings in the directory and all they had to do was accept gallery URLs and build the biggest TGP in the world.

Somehow I feel like these are moves of despiration from yahoo.

I think they fucked up Geocities. They shoud have left it as it was and just beefed up the services. The geocities "neighborhood" concept was a better approach.


Those companies that died in the "dot com bust" should start looking at things again. Bandwidth is at an all time low; new types and more surfers now; cheaper programmers available; more affiliate marketing and faster technology and better media tools. A company with some millions to spend could come in now with a solid approach and wipe yahoo off the map.
I think stuff like Utube and wikipedia are showing how to cut into the web market
and it's just a matter of time before somebody take yahoo on.

I think it's a good time to look for stock in upstart dot coms again.

You're missing my point DUDE.

Yahoo is a PORTAL. Not just a search engine.

If they sell their search off to MSN, they still can survive fine. They can revert back to how they USED to be. Having Google doing their search.

I only wish I had more sites back when I did it.
