Ask HN YAHOOS: What Yahoo Should do next?
Keeping in mind that Yahoo has revenue of around $6Billion and profit is between 20-25% , which is not bad (looking at all the problems and issues) ...
IMHO :they shud just concentrate on core competencies, get rid of clumsy products and focus on Asian countries (which is 50% of world population and that's where the future growth is) and if you want more then try to deliver prod/services best suited to Africans and you'll cover 75% of world population. Remember serving bottom of the pyramid???
what would you suggest?
- spooneybarger 16y agoThis is not meant to be snarky... serious question... at this point, what are Yahoo's core competencies?
- bakbak 16y agoby core competencies i meant the product and services that are generating maximum revenue and profit ... they're making $6B so naturally something is working :-) with some good real estates (may be email, flickr, yahoo finance, yahoo movies etc.)
- spooneybarger 16y agoi get that but what are its core competencies? what is actually making them money other than their ad network?
- bakbak 16y agoi guess most of their ads are displayed on their own properties , so the more the eyeballs, more the money AND most of the eyeballs are in asia and africa ... so focusing on world demography and their needs will serve the purpose in the long run.
- willheim 16y agoI have a bunch of ideas but really don't feel like spending the effort typing them up. Maybe that's how they feel? Abandoned, unloved, salvageable but... who cares?
