I love yahoo mail, so even if people don't use the search engine as much, they are still using other services on a regular basis. I'd use yahoo more often if they didn't have so much stuff on their search engine page.. I'm not saying they should follow Google's Tactics, but they really should consider seperating the search engine from all that extra stuff like news and videos.
Yahoo has a lot of good technology with the inkomi search engine and overture. Microsoft will be able to a better job with these technologies.
It still has no chance, Microsoft can invest as much as they want but i am sure Google will come out with something better the next day. Though it is nice to see it has been bought my Microsoft and will last a few more Years.
Yahoo does not have something similar to google adsense that site owners around the world could earn from. I'm not fond of yahoo search too. I think google search is much more accurate. I wish they'd be a much better competition for Google though.
Well that is something I hate, you can try using your company email to forward to Yahoo, most likely it will be in the bulk folder. I love Yahoo Finance though.
We all know that Yahoo has some unique things that Google hasn't. For example Yahoo Answers.So far Google haven't made something similar and better to challenge it.
yea but apparently they don't want to beat each other by taking the others ideas, yahoo even claimed that it would not resort to becoming more like Google just to get traffic, which in my opinion is a great move on there part because it makes them seem that much more integrable.
for example Google already stopped their answer site. And i'm not sure that Yahoo mail is better than Gmail . For me - like everyday user - gmail is more light and easy to use , the new version ot yahoo mail cost more loading time , and is heavy for the browser. I hope if MS buy Y! to bring new life to this company. My first e-mail box ever was from yahoo (more than 10 years ago) Nostalgic
yahoo might die eventually but they have in any case a special place in the history of internet imo kinda like a milestone. so I'd rather not see them dead..but Google for sure hittin'em hard.
Microsoft is trying to buy Yahoo for 40 +billion so they can merge and compete with Google. Will it happen? Nothing is confirmed, but if it does they might actually create a decent search engine out of it.
Yahoo actually gets more traffic than Google. It's a portal, not just a search engine. No search engine is perfect; it they were, there would only be one answer, the right one. The best search engine would be a human edited one, by votes of relavency. That's why Google uses the social sites for it's serps more and more..
