I think you are being sarcastic, but to me, this is a great move. Yahoo clearly can't cut it in search, but they do know what is going on in the portal/news/email space. I don't know the terms of the deal, but assuming it was decent, they just bought a fairly large and growing demographic.
- dotcoma 17y agoyes, I am being sarcastic. And yes, it is true I don't really know what they bought (and many thanks to mahmud for expanding on this). My criticism is exactly of Yahoo's strategy. Is the "portal" space a business? How big, important, current is it? What about "news"? Is Yahoo! really strong there? Do they have an innovative product? Really? Do they? Finally, Yahoo! Mail was great. 10 years ago, it was great.
