Has Yahoo Given Up with Search?
Look at you, you came back! We knew you just couldn't keep away for long. Why not make visiting us easy by subscribing to our RSS feed (or the audio RSS feed). Stick around and be sure to speak up and post a comment or two!
I’ve heard some interesting news from a well respected source that Yahoo is no longer going to pursue the marketshare that Google has achieved in regard to search. I suppose that yahoo figures they have other products and solutions to give more attention to. Perhaps dropping intense search development will free up expenditures to be diverted into other entities. The key is remaining profitable, preferably with substantial growth. We’ll see how they do.





I read an article somewhere (unfortunately I don’t remember where) where the writer said that Google was a search engine that offered other services whereas Yahoo is a service provider that offered search.
Also, I found this article:
Yahoo opening research labs in Spain, Chile
So I’m sure no one really knows where Yahoo is headed…
