Yahoo Will Dump Google
from the only-a-matter-of-time dept
After testing a Google-free Yahoo in Australia, it looks like Yahoo is set to dump Google in the next few months. This is not a huge surprise. Almost 4 years ago, I was saying Google and Yahoo would either merge or be rivals. I guess they're going to be rivals.

Ok, ok, I was wrong. :)
What I hadn't realized (and what many people didn't realize) was that search, itself, would become so lucrative, so fast.

Arrogant and obvious
Sorry, but this sounds soooooo arrogant! It's always been obvious that this would happen, and to say "I told you so" just smacks of arrogance - like saying "I knew the dot-com crash would happen." Duh!

Re: Arrogant and obvious
Also, in this case, mhh5 has a record of what he said four years ago. Most people who now say they "knew" the dot com crash would happen were talking about how it would go on forever during the boom years.

Re: Arrogant and obvious
But you say it's "always" been obvious that Yahoo and Google would become rivals? I don't think so. I mean my "prediction" was that they would either merge or become rivals. Admittedly that's a pretty "cover my ass" sort of prediction. (And I was hoping no one would nail me for saying that.) I'm basically saying something like the stock market will either go up or down... :) Now *that* is a duh statement...
So my apologies. And I'll try to refrain from saying "I told you so" when my predictions are sort of tautologous.... :)

Re: Ok, ok, I was wrong. :)
C'mon, this is like saying the sun is either going to rise or set. At the end of the day, you can't be wrong.
Here, I'll make a prediction: The U.S. may or may not annex Canada.

Ok, so no more "I told you so" tautologies! I get it!

That's not a prediction..
I fail to see how your "prediction" was a stroke of brilliance.
