Yahoo was my home page and search engine of choice for years. Then, in a misbegotten effort to be everything to everybody, it changed its front page and became nothing to nobody.

Teacher David from China writes: Got to agree with you Gardiner Westbound. Google is a much cleaner interface. If you want the clutter you can find it by clicking on one of the links on their main page. Now, if you want real clutter go to www.yahoo.com.cn or sina.com. Those have clutter. Baidu.com is one of the search engines of choice for the Chinese. It is designed along the same idea as Google. Clear and clutter less. Gets the job done fast.

C. T. from Canada writes: What Yahoo is failing to realize is the other things they offer like flickr, chat and the 360's associated with it have not worked properly for a very long time. They use to work well, but because they are no longer stable, many people have a bad taste in their mouths with respect to any association with yahoo, so they don't use their search engines as a first choice.
If they can't even keep their servers up to operate the programs that people use most frequently, how can you expect people to trust that their search engines will work better then other providers.
When their other applications became unreliable people started leaving yahoo all together and lost faith in everything associated.
They need to fix the other applications to keep the people that have not totally jumped ship and possibly re-build their faith in Yahoo, which will result in them trusting the search engines as they once did.- Posted 03/10/07 at 9:24 AM EDT | Alert an Editor | Link to Comment
