I'm not saying that yahoo will cease to exist but I think they are going to be a non-player in the future. I don't really have a clear reason for this just a gut feeling based on what they are doing.
Yahoo fucked up when they started charging for inclusion into their directory. That was charging you to provide them with content. Their directory has all but died. It isn't worth shit to be included anymore.
Now they have a video section which hotlinks your fucking videos...of course I redirect to a pay site when the surfer clicks. But how stupid is this considering that they already had porn listings in the directory and all they had to do was accept gallery URLs and build the biggest TGP in the world.
Somehow I feel like these are moves of despiration from yahoo.
I think they fucked up Geocities. They shoud have left it as it was and just beefed up the services. The geocities "neighborhood" concept was a better approach.
Those companies that died in the "dot com bust" should start looking at things again. Bandwidth is at an all time low; new types and more surfers now; cheaper programmers available; more affiliate marketing and faster technology and better media tools. A company with some millions to spend could come in now with a solid approach and wipe yahoo off the map.
I think stuff like Utube and wikipedia are showing how to cut into the web market
and it's just a matter of time before somebody take yahoo on.
I think it's a good time to look for stock in upstart dot coms again.
