Wow. It's like Yahoo has just gave up.

Yeah, that's what usually happens if you try to run a conflicting business model. You can not run a media shop selling ads with one hand and selling everything to everybody with the other - from ring tones and music to hosting, domain names and jobs.

You can not use revenue from your advertising business to develop products and services, to advertise them on your own advertising channels and to compete with products and services of your advertising customers.

Why should I pay YSM to advertise my blue widgets if Yahoo's blue widgets are always in front of mine on YSM ads grid?
