Yahoo, which once held great promise, seems to have become the company that buys things and fails with them. Some examples off the top of my head:
Konfabulator (Yahoo Widgets), Geocites, Delicious, Flickr, Broadcast.com.
Heck, they don't even provide their own search results anymore. Can anyone think of something that Yahoo has bought that has flourished under them?
- lurker19 15y agoThat's their business model. Yahoo is a media slaughterhouse, not a farm.

- drgath 15y agoFWIW, Konfabulator (now Y! ConnectedTV) is on 8 million TVs and growing. Pairing that with their recent IntoNow acquisitions, if those are to be integrated (rumored) then it could be a very unique and exciting product.
