Fixing Yahoo, The Internet Way

Yeah, you're right.  Yahoo

Yeah, you're right.  Yahoo is great for teens and alike.

About two years ago, I was an adamant Yahoo user.  Everybody seemed to be raving about Google and I was staying faithful to my search engine.  Then one day I noticed that during my last few presentations for a couple college courses, my research just was not as interesting as it used to be.  I prided myself on great keyword searches and material to subject relevance but something was different.  People that were so-so researchers and would never be caught in the library when giving out some great factoids and interesting finds.  When the competition gets better, find out what there doing, and I did.  Started to use Google and it was like everything was back to normal.  I chalked it up to better algorithms search results.  One day it hit me that I only use yahoo for music or movies and decided I'm going use the search engine again, for old times sake.  Start typing in, and match words start popping up below.  Distracting features that stalls the keyword I am typing in because half of the time none of the words or key phrases is what Im looking for.  I don't even think about Yahoo Messenger anymore.  I use Gtalk for work and ooVoo (a client of mine) for video messaging. And don't even get me started about the delayed Yahoo Maps!  Yahoo needs to step up their game and go back to basics.
