We would really like to think there is. Otherwise we will end up in another monopolistic scenario that is bound to hurt the end consumer. We very much hope Yahoo gets it act together and bounces back to become a worthy opponent to Google and Ms.

You’ve got “Yahoo’s VP of Web Search Technology—leaving for Yahoo” in the post.

Is there a future without search? No.

Is there a future without Microsoft? There could be, but they’ll succumb to the pressure to sell out.

No, I maintain my position. The future for Yahoo is in a merger with MS. Nicole Price's last blog post..The Best Recipe Sites

Yeah, Yahoo had search before Google existed. You could search their directory for some time and then, yeah in 2003 they began crawling and index building. I think Yahoo getting out of search would be like them saying, you know... we really don't like money. That is to say, ain't going to happen. Of course, the ad/banner types you referenced would love search to just go away. That way they could stop trying to stretch their brains around the concepts of paying for performance and stick to thinking only in terms of one time media buys.

Yahoo has been doing search for more than three years—they’ve maintained their own web crawlers and index since 2003. Heck, Yahoo’s been blogging about search for over four years. Most importantly, that’s where Yahoo has put its fortunes now.

Only a few years ago Yahoo was doing a Directory and not SEARCH. How quickly we forget. So they have been in search to 2 maybe 3 years. Some day Yahoo will figure out their own direction, instead of playing follow the leader. Greg's last blog post..FlexFuel = Higher food prices
