Yahoo, at the beginning, was the original place to find stuff. Period. The founders happened to have chosen a directory as the model with which to tackle the issue...however, the goal was simple: help people find stuff.

How hard is that?

Oh, and they need to fire Carol Bartz before she puts foot in mouth again.

This is proof Yahoo! was always a search company [web.archive.org] built with the goal of helping people to find stuff. Period.

Or...was Yahoo simply deluded the first 3-5 years they were in existence? And, those shareholders who bought stock in a company that had a home page...such as that...were they also duped?

It sure looks like a search company to me. By that, I mean a place where people go to *find* stuff.
