. . . and now they are entertaining giving up 25% of their company for Myspace. Quick math, that is a 9.1 billion dollar price tag. Somebody has got to get control of these guys, before they shoot themselves in the foot (again).

Nice post/ no, Great post, well written.

Peace, I’m out!

Richard does raise valid points. Though I was never a Yahoo! zealot, at the rate things are going, they really need to get their act together.

Search is still where the money is. They need to build a better search mousetrap than Google – or at least create a different sort of search experience. Kind of like you’re talking about “human interaction” they could focus on human-centric search vs algorithmic search (leave that to Google and Ask).

I think they could integrate Flickr and del.icio.us directly into search results. This could be similar to Answers integration (tacking onto existing search results) or more like Google’s universal search where Flickr/del.icio.us results are ranked with and alter the search results.

BTW, I bet they could grab Technorati on the cheap. Hmm, a search that combines the best of Yahoo! Search + Answers, Flickr, del.icio.us and Technorati. Forget Mahalo and ChaCha. Yahoo! could be perceived as the human-powered search alternative to Google. Could it?
