Yahoo added "Web Rank" to their toolbar back in 2004. It was a total failure. Yahoo is so smart, they turned down a chance to buy google for $3 billion in 2002 saying it was too expensive. Google has a market cap of about $180 billion today.
Yahoo will beat google if... they pay everyone $100,000 and everyone owes me 5% commission from the money given from Yahoo due to this ingenious idea
True, once yahoo buys google. All the money will bring down google also. and yahoo should extend their puclisher ads to the whole world instead of just US publishers. Yahoo has been really lazy.
Yahoo cannot beat Google now. It is too late. The only chance for Yahoo is to say yes to Microsoft's offer.
Yahoo doesn't innovate anything. Google Earth - that is innovation. Even if Microsoft ends up buying Yahoo, they wont have a shot at stopping Google for at least 3-4 years.
Yahoo will crash and burn when Microsoft buys it If Microsoft did not have a strangehold on the OS and Word Processing market, they would be nothing. They got into the game early, and people are used to their products, THAT is why the succeed. What has Microsoft produced in the last few years that has just boomed and become a big success? Most people have MSN Messenger, Internet Explorer loses more and more of a market share everyday, MS Money is a piece of shit, there just isn't anything that they have that is popular outside of the things that they've had for 10-15 years. Office and Windows are popular, and then the little other things they have (IE, WMP) are all because it's bundled into Windows. If Microsoft was going to make Yahoo big, then why is msn.com and live.com so shitty and have such low market shares?
