>>how much economic productivity should be recorded for a website like yahoo!?<<

It's impossible to measure. How can you measure -

- Getting news a day before it's in the newspaper and hours before it's on television. Does it matter? Ask the people who get the latest "warning" before it even hits CNBC.

- Comparison shopping to decide which product to buy.

-- Getting the cheapest price when you decide what you want to buy.

- Researching your symptoms to see what disease you have.

- Researching the best medicine for it.

- Finding a support group of others with the same disease and discussing treatment options, so you know what works, what doesn't, and what are the side effects.

- Finding a group of people who have the car you do so you can discuss how to take care of it.

- Finding a group of people who have the same computer you do so you can find out how to fix it.

- Finding a map to your destination.

- Finding a hotel for when you get there, and making sure it's on the beach instead of a block away, or across the street from the convention center instead of miles away.

- Finding restaurant reviews so you don't eat at a place that serves bad food.

I could go on and on, but why bother? Either you get what I am talking about or you don't.
