They could have been 500px, if Flickr was addressed in time ( or just left as an incubated project instead of forcing integration, see http://gizmodo.com/5910223/how-yahoo-killed-flickr-and-lost-the-internet http://gizmodo.com/5910223/how-yahoo-killed-flickr-and-lost-... ) - and maybe not with a sync-up-everything-on-first run android app. They could have been a lot of things but they managed to smash every potential idea with the tight, corporate-wide integration. They still have the Yahoo! Finance, which I believe, is without competition. Focus on that, stay ahead of competition, if all the rest if falling apart anyway. And start killing the rest of the services which are making less and less money. As much as I dislike the decisions Google made with dropping the Reader, Labs, etc., I understand the reasoning, and that is what Yahoo should have done as well.
