Google has failed at almost everything they've done besides search. Anyone can simply make a product happen. But it takes a Steve Jobs type visionary to understand what people will want next and how bad they'll want it BEFORE they even know they want it.
Yahoo's single largest problem from a business standpoint is simple. They have no identity. They stand for nothing. They do nothing well. They are known for nothing. Customers have no idea what "Yahoo!" is. Yahoo has no idea what Yahoo is. No one can easily finish this sentence "Yahoo is the best...."
When they were letting Microsoft take over their search engine, they even denied being a search engine in spite of being #2/3 in the search market.
