Last I checked, AOL is going for the advertising dollars. There is no better attraction on the Internet than FREE service. That's what Yahoo! has, AOL doesn't. Yahoo! is as well known as Bill Gates, except everyone likes Yahoo!. The 50 million is roughly the number of people that use the web. And who goes to Yahoo!? Everyone. Gee, last I checked Yahoo! makes money doing the exact same thing - ad revenue! So now your argument is that because it is free it must be better? When did this paradigm get established? I guess because Webcrawler is a free service, it must be better! I'm getting a good chuckle when you say everyone uses Yahoo!. All 50 million websurfer huh? Who did that study? Anyway, if you want to believe Yahoo! is the greatest thing on the internet, so be it. I'm not gonna stop you from Yahoo!ing. S.
