Hi Kara,

There are so many things to comment. This post should be a good anchor for deep analysis of technology and business points of view for the search engine field.

In the technology, the search engines are holding Google new enterprises. So Yahoo of course should be trying to catch up. I guess in all the genius Farzad is, he could not deliver a product to really compete with Google. Now Microsoft is reporting to open a project to really, really compete with Google, according to TechCrunch.

In the business side there is a venture capital inflow in this area. Only in Q1 the company that received the least was 7M according to PricewaterhouseCoopers. It is an arm race out there.

While going in the same direction, because after all Yahoo is not doing bad, the main area for the new guy should be a different options to approach the search engine with a lateral thinking.
