This is interesting. One of the lead articles on Bloomberg yesterday was how Yahoo! has lost 91% of its value in the last decade, and could be bought for a song now. Yahoo! owns Flickr. I happen to like both Yahoo! email and Flickr, but there's no guarantee that the future owner will maintain the services to the same level that they are now.

I like Yahoo's search engine. I never switched to Google, because the few times I tried it I didn't get the results I wanted. No idea why.

It's because Google gives you the results you need, not the results you want.
