Yahoo is just a directory of internet pages and a search engine. Ah, so you're the one who doesn't use Yahoo to track his portfolio. Nice to meet you. <g> Seriously, when was that description last accurate, 1997? More accurate IMO would be "if Yahoo's directory of internet pages disappeared today, no one would miss it".

What does Yahoo have to do with the new economy ? Yahoo is just a directory of internet pages and a search engine. If Yahoo disappeared today, only Glenn will miss them. Yahoo actually offers some very sophisticated services. Most people are unaware of them. Their email is accessible via a toll free number and one's mail is read off using voice activation supplied by Net2Phone. Voice mail is also available through this system. It is accessible frm anywhere and one does not need a PC or a cell phone with WAP. The calendar is a great organizer although likely no better than AOl's or MSN's. The real advantage is one may look at their appointments or make notes using a PC anywhere. The storage and notes works well for for access when one is not always at the same PC. For example, one can run their payroll application from any PC. The search is a waste. The best search engine by far is Copernic. It is available here. You will like it. copernic.com

Yahoo is a provider of content with more users than any one of the big four major TV networks. Yahoo offers over a hundred different services (they call them properties). Yahoo, just like AOL, has a sporting chance of becoming a major content provider. Having said that this does not mean that they are worth $100 per share...
