   When will it be bought by funny Turkish companies?

   Will Jerry talk about a "new growth opportunity" or whatever and move his office to Istanbul?

   let's hope that Jerry Yang will bring back Yahoo to it's golden days just like Steve did for Apple. :)

   Gesh... it's Yahoo! who cares. Of the 3 major generalized search engines only one ever seems to be worth using even after you get passed the cultural bias. MSN just needs to disappear. :(

   Just a reminder to Yahoo.

   Remember when you decided to use Google as your search engine?
   
   Then remember how you started using pop-up ads?
   
   That is when I left you for Google. Because the difference was less of you shoving ads at me for crap I had no desire to buy.

   Re: Just a reminder to Yahoo.

   Google has nothing to do with pop-up ads. Its advertising model actually helps curb pop-up ads, and it clearly distinguishes advertised links fron search results via color coding (lt. blue) and location (right side of page). Have you ever used google? Did you EVER get a pop-up ad? Do a bit of reading if you have no experience and don't know what you are talking about.

   Google

   Google is king. One day Google will head a planet wide government and will eliminate poverty and hunger and we shall live in peace for ever after.
   
   Seriously though look at the Google landing page compared to MSN and Yahoo's. Who wants lower quality searches mixed with a page crammed full of ad's, useless news and just generally cluttered with junk when they can go to a nice clean and simple looking Google? Even when Google shoves ad's down your throat they are usually relevant and still don't clutter up the page.

   lol Jake, maybe you should actually READ his comment before you respond and flame. He's referring to Yahoo's ads not Google's.

    I second that 100%.
    
    Yahoo was nice when it loaded fast and was simple. Now it's a bunch of ads and articles about hollywood garbage.
    
    Right now - I just went to Yahoo.com. American Express Ad - among many others, Links to Celebrity Videos.... blah~

    Yahoo! seems schizophrenic. Most of their major services aren't well integrated.
    
    I predicted Google will continue kicking Yahoo!'s ass in the search market and a lot of smaller companies will continue to chip away at Yahoo!'s other services.
