Comments on: Can Yahoo do content?

The Web portal's plan to become a major Internet content player is treading water, despite its Hollywood credentials.

Yahoo shot itself in the foot.

I was a yahoo fan until i switched to mac and discovered that most of yahoo's services are not compatable cross platform. I'm not talking about messenger or other stand alone apps, I'm talking about the website. If yahoo wants to build a website that only runs of windows, fine.. but don't get upset when people who move to another platform leave. Bottom line is you can get the exact same information and content at many other places on the web, and yahoo is not necessary.

Yahoo: The Clock's Ticking

As directories and search engines, Yahoo and Google have excelled at organizing the web and helping individuals seek, find and access the things that uniquely matter to them.

Yet to take a position of creating original content and assuming it will successfully appeal to a wide enough audience is a notion that runs counter to that which brought those powerhouses such relevance and application.

If Yahoo is good at anything, it?s making it easy for people to get what they want when they want it. Back in the early days of the web, it simply took two guys in their dorm room to imagine and implement a strategy that continues to work today.

Perhaps it?s time to take a lesson from Apple who came to realize that straying too far from the shore and bringing in the big guns can spell ruination when the idea that put them there in the first place became lost.

Its time that Yahoo recognizes their true value and opportunity; simplify the experience for individuals to gain access to those who are willing to pay for the relationship, and let the content evolve from those who have the passion, talent and perserverence to rise to the top.

The clocks ticking?.

AOL News As Well!

Your comscore data is missing a key player in online News---AOL, which is always ranked near Yahoo, MSN and CNN.

It seems to me Yahoo is trying to do what AOL content has done for years, original top notch programming.
