Yahoo Fundamentals Deteriorating - Collins Stewart

While Google certainly has the search edge I think that is a much too limited view of the GOOG v YHOO spectrum.

I think it would be deceiving to place too much emphasis on search capabilities. Most browsers have a little search icon on the top right that you can search google with without needing to go to their home page. In terms of their other facets, YHOO is vastly superior - my yahoo! is much, much better than iGoogle, Yahoo!'s finance pages are much better, and Yahoo! has the edge in most other categories other than search. It is also easier to put a gadget for gmail on your my yahoo page than vice versa.

The new google phone and android system, however, puts an entirely different spin on things and that is well beyond my scope. Since this article is about Yahoo!, I would ponder what Microsoft's plans would have been if it had acquired Yahoo!, and whether Yahoo can accomplish those things on its own.
