Should Apple Consider Buying Yahoo!? [View article]
Yahoo was never a search engine. It was a topical directory. Yahoo's big mistake was transforming itself into a search engine, even though their system won them the search wars before Google ever existed. I still prefer searching that way but the directory is buried on the front page and unless you know where to look no one will ever use it. Searching for things on Google gives you the same problems that all of the old search engine's gave you. You get all kinds of random stuff that has nothing to do with what you wanted.
My suggestion to Yahoo.....go back to the system that made you a success, while it will never bring you back to the glory days of old it will at least stop the bleeding.
