Yahoo! Consulting!

from the oh,-please dept

In Yahoo's never ending attempt to find some revenue that doesn't involve pummeling their readers with ever more intrusive advertising, they've announced that they're setting up a services group that will do consulting. Services group? Consulting? Yahoo!? Yes, it's a bit odd, but apparently they think that companies will hire Yahoo! to tell them how to build a corporate portal. Seems like a stretch to me. If I were looking to build a corporate portal, I think Yahoo would be one of the last places I would look. Sure they built the consumer portal (and have tried to sell corporate portal offerings), but there are plenty of companies that have spent a lot more time looking into how to build a portal specific to the needs of businesses - and I'd tend to trust them more. Of course, if it works, then good for them - but only if they get rid of those damn pop up ads.
