Comments on: Breaking: Yahoo To Test Advertising From Google http://www.centernetworks.com/yahoo-to-test-google-ads Web 2 and Social Media News and Reviews Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:27:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Rob Gordon http://www.centernetworks.com/yahoo-to-test-google-ads#comment-17710 Rob Gordon Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-17710 I think that perhaps Yahoo's situation would be far different now if they hadn't given more than a billion dollars and their entire China operations to Alibaba- the Chinese trade portal. The wealth that they generated here was transferred overseas instead of being used to generate jobs and business here. Yahoo's strategy has been to enrich their founders, not to build a great company.

Yahoo mail has consistently been improving over the years and incorporates some pretty thoughtful features. Gmail, on the other hand, remains mystifying to me. Why re-invent something that has been working fine for decades. This is what you get when PHDs are left to redesign common tools. Task them with inventing a new garbage can, and pretty soon you find yourself throwing trash out the window because the thing is too complicated to use. Yahoo fails in marketing, not product development. Pictures, briefcase, 360, pipes, live, etc. were all great products that absolutely no one remembers. their product releases are half-done
