A Radical Option for Yahoo: Out-Open Google

Most of us couldn't care less what algorithim is used as long as our search produces reasonable and probable (if not exact) answers to our query.
Habit and simplicity dictate most users preference and Google won way back when they were a gui newsgroup reader of sorts.

What is really silly is the way everyone, INCLUDING YAHOO ITSELF,
ignores the one area where Yahoo dominates:

FINANCE!

Unless you're a broker with a Bloomberg account,
you use YAHOO.
Even with information layouts from Scottrade, Schwabb, and Ameritrade, the millions of us who manage our own accounts
CONSTANTLY refer to Yahoo's wealth of quick info
about the company's we invest in.

And, the millions who 401k with the Fed's TSP,
flip to Yahoo just to view delayed S&P and NASDAC numbers.

Yahoo's Finance page should be touted for
the highest advertising fees and every click on analyst estimates or
company's balance sheet should ka-ching loudly.

But I guess the powers that be at Yahoo are asleep.
