Google has few friends, and less competition. But you are not going to see Yahoo, or MSN, going anywhere. They will either hold, or continue to lose marketshare until a technology comes to boost it.

Correct. Plus they have their music offshoot, and are partnered with SBC/AT&T or whatever acronymn they are now. So they have money coming in from a lot of directions.

Same here. After the first site almost 10 years ago. I haven't proactively sent them shit since.

The problem here is that Google makes money along the line while continueing to be innovative, and work on perfecting the algo...

Yahoo thinks about money, and getting paid first and foremost. Keeping up, or maintaining is secondary. Two different schools of thought. Obviously Google's is better. People pay to be on there, or deal with them, because they are continueing to tweek. Yahoo hasn't done much in the past 5-10 years different.
