I see numerous threads here complaining about Yahoo, so I think this former giant is going downhill and where it would leeds to? Sorry Yahoo, but your service is really terrible.
TBH, I don't think yahoo was ever a "giant"... the big G was always the leader.. and most likely will continue to be the leader until bing takes over
Bing take over, are you kidding? I never think that it will become a leader in the search engine industry, not a chance,
Yahoo is still a web giant, just not the search giant. They could have challenged google when they acquired alltheweb but incompetent management and stupid decisions ruined it. The tie up with Microsoft (bing) is going to kill them off i think.
Bing sucks. No matter how you look at it, Bing still sucks. Yahoo is good, still, however. I get traffic from Yahoo searches, and Y! Answers, for every single website I run. Bing however, brings in nothing, for any.
I think yahoo should have some big new thing that will attract a lot of visitors. I sometimes use yahoo but it is not nearly as big as google but it is second
I'm not sure about you, but I'm getting more traffic from BING than from Yahoo.. Yahoo will never die, because their "web portal" and numerous services will keep visitors there a relatively constant. Cheers, Venetsian.
Yahoo was the leader before Google. After all, Yahoo came along in 1995 whereas Google came in 1996. I remember only using Yahoo until about 2000-2001
I have a feeling they will all do just fine. PPC is growing fast. You can't for see the next hot thing. For instance, if all these social media sites start allowing a universal login with Yahoo, then I could see Yahoo becoming more popular. The most important number is the search share %, just keep an eye on that, and then you can tell who is doing gaining and who is losing people. Yahoo isn't going anywhere. Inktomoi.. age.. they are consistent and offer some unique features.
It seemed that Yahoo are closing many serives, like 360, free hosting, I think they may want to focus, but what is its core competitiveness anyway? The biggest web portal? By the way, Yahoo offer some of the worst services compared to google, like email etc. So I think yahoo will lose its share in almost every field. They will either be forced to retreat from such feilds or lose money, so what is waiting head for Yahoo? Can it be apple which was once about to die, I do not think there is a Jobs in yahoo, lol
I read yahoo's news a lot and the odd news is sometimes entertaining. I don't really get into messengers that much, but isn't ymes still extremely popular or did everyone switch. I do not like yahoo mail at all. I don't see anything particular great about any of them though. Google, yahoo, msn bing, whatever. I don't really care I just try to focus on the most popular which is google. If yahoo was the most popular then I would spend more time there, same with bingo.
maybe yahoo is really going donwhill, but it is one of the best and important search engine in the world.. google not dominate the search engine yet and they are still competing each other
