yahoo is a dying brand. yahoo mail, search, news and flickr are the only services which are somewhat popular. yahoo games has a market. but overall, they are a stagnating brand with nothing exciting to offer.
 
Yahoo still is most popular portal but it needs better ideas to cash on it.
 
actually yahoo fails to match the combined traffic of google and youtube.in fact... searches on youtube alone puts it pretty close to yahoo in terms of search engine market share. if google was to run youtube as youtube.google.com... yahoo would get far far behind.
 
youtube was google's master stroke. even though google is not trying to make money from youtube, once it does then it wud have way too much money and might overtake Microsoft.
 
actually google has been trying too hard to make money from youtube. any video that gets popular gets internet advertisements...and they have already started disabling video views in countries where they do not have the rights to broadcast them. it is not as open as it used to be at one point of time. but yeah. youtube is a loss making service for google. i think the figures were around 200 mill earnings compared to 800 mill expenses a year in dollars.
 
someone talked about yahoo answers... yahoo answers is a piece of shite web service that has messed up the search results big time. it is full of retards.
