it's not just Yahoo Finance, but also Yahoo Auctions (a complete copy of eBay), Yahoo email, and the whole Yahoo portal is a copy-cat version of AOL... I agree that most of what they've done recently just copies the good ideas of others, but that last item? I don't think that one is fair. The first time I saw Yahoo's "portal" was in 1994 (and it might even have been late in '93), long before AOL even offered access to the web. The page was a lynx-enhanced text-only collection of reviews and links to many of the sites on the web. It wasn't called a "portal" then, but it was clearly an early version of the concept created before almost anyone else. GNN also had a good index, and a few of the search engines were already running, but the boys at Yahoo were leading the pack back then. Oh, and it's clear that you guys have set the standard for a long time on financial discussion. Nobody else even comes close.
