Saying "Yahoo is dead" (pg didn't, btw) is a sensationalist way of saying "Yahoo is in a slow, steady decline."
To predict this, look at the leading indicators:
- new products
- strategic acquisitions
- flow of talent
- company morale
- growth relative to competition
- positions in key emerging markets
Yahoo seems to be struggling in all these areas.
Also, using "biggest site" as a metric is one of the problems with Yahoo that pg mentions in this article.
- elblanco 16y agoIt probably doesn't hurt to look at one of Yahoo's contemporaries along the same metrics, AOL.
- notahacker 16y agoit probably looks healthier still when compared with the traditional "media companies" they stole the brand advertising market share from.
