We all know Yahoo has many products and is available in several countries & languages around the globe, but Yahoo is in deep & served waters. Certain services within Yahoo are going down the drain. They have taken down several programs and are holding to certain others though unbearable for users, people are angry and desperate. Yahoo 360: Almost nonexistent does not work and users are unable to use it. Yahoo Answers [Q&A] & Yahoo Answers Suggestions Board: In tremendous problems and Yahoo is unable to fix the glitches, control the trolls, school kids, the system is down frequently. They fix one and two others are down. Yahoo mail: Also full of glitches emails disappear, when sending one it gets lost while being send & email addresses are changed along the way to non existent ones and returned to the sender. Google Mail is so much better and efficient. Yahoo Messenger & Chat: Dangerous to say the least, full of huge problems almost out of use, harassing, trolling, ID theft, insulting posts, full of loonies chasing the underage girls & horrendous threats. Google is far better than Yahoo. Yahoo Tool Bar: far too many spy programs and glitches. Google's Tool Bar is the best ever. Yahoo Search Engine: Worthless. Google's Search Engine is THE one. As an ex Yahoo user for years I left on my own, not suspended or banned or whatever I thus know a lot more than many who only use the Q&A for points that serves the sole purpose for users to compete, insult and attack each other. What is worth in Yahoo if correctly fixed, cleaned out, improved or updated: Yahoo 360 could easily be replaced by Blogger and would required a linked to each individual account. Yahoo Answers in full including the Suggestions & Appeal Boards. The rest is worthless. I know business is business but if Google offered an interesting amount, say 30+ millions only for the 360, Q&A + Suggestions Board at an International level it would pay off beautifully. The 90+ million users are there basically for the mentioned programs not for the rest. This would be it for Google. I hope Google will give it a thought it's worth it. Go Google Regards
Nice to see we have first posters come in with inaccurate useless posts. Seeing too many single digit posters come, give useless rant and go away (or maybe come back with another account for more useless posts)
Source Yahoo Finance as at 1 Feb 08 Google Market Cap: 161.39B Yahoo Market Cap: 37.93B I think you got it the other way round.
I don't mind about Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Sun, Internet Explorer or Firefox. What annoys me is all these "Sect" followers: at leat it's amusing.
How come?OMG!Google 5 times bigger than yahoo?Impossible!Yahoo has many more services than google.Odd.
No it does not show anything, Alexa measures are not audited in anyway, not accurate as some would say
When you reach a certain rank, Alexa is pretty accurate. Let's say for the top 1000 or so sites. As for Google buying Yahoo... you've got to be freakin' nuts to want something like that to happen.
Google already try to buy yahoo. But yahoo didn't accept that. If google buy yahoo means no competion for google in this web world.It is some what disturbing to get new products. when there is heavy competion only good products come into market.
Google is more effective in turning traffic into profits and their growth is much faster the yahoo hence the market values google higher then it does yahoo. Also google revenue this year is 16 billion while yahoo's is only 5.8 Billion
The numbers in the revenue doesn't mean anything. It is the net income (bottom line) that counts for everything. You can earn millions of dollars, but if you invest in a billion, it is a total lost.
Higher revenues means the ability to have higher profits which also gives you the ability to invest those profits back into the company.
