Yahoo's strengths?

"The foreign-produced ads, which have been running for the past two weeks, promote what Yahoo describes as two of its "biggest strengths" - its search engine and free email. "

Interesting to hear, from the horse's mouth, that they believe search to be one of their strengths. Maybe that's part of the reason they switched to Google?

Now they really are providing the best search results, thus keeping people on the site and coming back, so they can sell more premium services.

well, considering that 65% of Yahoo revenue comes from porn related sites, i would say that their main strength is pornography

Why not just go to Google and get the same search only minus the ads and popups? I guess they figure a lot of new folks will not know the search comes from Google.

Hmm, thinking about this - the foreign Yahoo's are probably still using the regional directory first setup.
