Yahoo - serious ?

For many years I have thought Yahoo was shit and now they finally admit to not being interested in being No.1 in the search engine world. I have never really used Yahoo to search anything and find that it's slow to crawl websites for new information. Google for whatever its misgivings and the continual moaning one reads about in the web forums is the still the world's No.1 search engine with an approximate 60% slice of the search engine pie, and also has a greater charisma than Yahoo in its corporate image. Google's revenue is far greater despite being a younger company than Yahoo and I aslo respect Google's current stance in not handing over search information to the Govt. A year ago Microsoft's MSN was touted as being the new kid on the search block to eventually catch up with Google. As one has seen that Microsoft has got enough problems on its hand with a Swiss cheese browser that is riddled with security holes and still hasn't changed an OS after nearly 5 years, should we hold our breath for MSN to perform? Yahoo's admission to not being interested in being No.1 in search dominance is not an encouraging stance for the company to take and doesn't help in Yahoo being taken seriously. Perhaps its too late for them to pull their finger out .... ?? Tags: Yahoo + Google + MSN + search engines
