Yahoo must move forward, not stand still. Google made a Google+, Facebook made a CivWor http://apps.facebook.com/CivWorld/, but that did Yahoo? They offer to make the technology online rapidly predict earthquakes TRON http://tron.ru/Japanearthquake2011/ - they refused. If they think that the prediction of earthquakes in Japan, no one wants, then what else the new proposal they have?

As long as yahoo does not best J Government's record of PM revolving door, there's hope ( albeit not great ) .

The Internet is relentless, as Groupon is finding out now: accelerating forward momentum is all that counts. Begin to slow a bit and you're toast. Barriers to entry are almost non-existent in comparison to other industries, and start-ups will eat your lunch before you even realize it. So, no, I think Yahoo will not survive. Don't mind, though; never liked them anyway.

Yahoo should have accepted Microsoft's offer when they had the chance. The problem with Ali Baba did not help them as well. Shame but I do not see them getting on their feet anytime soon. Too many competitors out there.

I have Yahoo Plus which is excellent for 20 dollars a year. Perfect for making anonymous email addresses on the fly. I would hate to lose that, as it stops idiots from sending me junk, and jerk guys wanting my pictures. I hope Yahoo pulls through.

First thing I suggest is a name change. The internet is too mature now to go with a name that seems aimed at nine year olds.
