Reasons Behind Yahoo's Four-Year Slump
- xiaoma 18y agoInteresting. My guess would have been: 1) Larry Page 2) Sergey Brin 3) Terry Semel 4) Steve Balmer
- sjs382 18y agoI'd say that the #1 reason for their decline was the fact they they've been seen as competing with Google for the search crown. Maybe I'm wrong but maybe Yahoo should have been focusing on (what I consider) their strengths: delicious, flickr, y!live, fireeagle, developer network, etc. Competing with Google in a field where Google excels, without trying something VISIBLY/OBVIOUSLY different/better was a losing strategy.
