Yahoo decided to branch out years ago and lost focus on it's main source of traffic/visitors/popularity: it's directory and search.

I can see Google heading down the same path. This is what happens when you go public: You have antsy shareholders who want more, more, more and so you expand until you've completely diluted your original product.

I'm no stock analyst or investor, but I'd say if you have Google stock enjoy it while it lasts ... they are spreading themselves too thin (esp. with MSN Search becoming a serious part of Microsoft's future wold takeover plans)
