Comments on: David Filo: No browser for Yahoo

Google wants the world to use its shiny new browser, Chrome. But Yahoo's co-founder says his company would rather improve its existing products.

I think it would be a mistake to try to do everything Google does. It would be overwhelming. I like Yahoo idea of opening everything up.

The fact that Google is busy wasting their money on a browser war that they are going to lose to IE and Firefox, doesn't mean Yahoo should do the same foolish thing.

I visit yahoo everyday but only for news. They should focus on being the USA Today of the web and less about competing for search. Maybe they can reignite this someday but they need to rethink search and focus on News.

Google is going to surpass everyone because they get it. Forget Microsoft, Apple and Yahoo, these are outdated companies who built the cornerstones of the digital age. Google is the result of failures of all these great companies who failed to see what the future could like like. Google is now the leader in the digital world and has left these other companies with IPods, Zunes and Yahoo Buzz so Good job Google. We will see where you lead us. Hopefully you well have the vision to give us products that are not proprietary and lead to more innovation not less.

While these other companies embrace their past accomplishments Google roars past them looking for ways to improve upon their past successes. Google will fail at times but their successes will certainly be on the shoulders of the ones before it and their short sightedness.

One small problem with Yahoo!'s idea of "open platform" - IT IS ALL WEBWARE & PROPRIETARY!!! How s THAT "open platform"?
