>>1-Yahoo is the biggest player. What exactly does this measure and who is YHOO compared to?

More people use Yahoo's service than any other service there is. More than AOL, or any other.

>>2. Yahoo has the largest franchise in Cyberspace. What does this mean???

Another way of making point #1, but underscores that Yahoo leads globally also.

>>3-Yahoo has more users than anyone including AOL. I'd be more careful in defining "users" here.

The number of different people who use the service. Pretty straight forward.

>> Yahoo is adding users faster than anyone. Once again, the utilization of "users" is misleading...

A user is a user, just like a customer is a customer, or a viewer is a viewer. There's no spin here.

Anyone catch the INTU-AOL announcement today. Looks like AOL, INTU, and XCIT are becoming more intertwined. I wouldn't even be that suprised if at some point in time AOL makes a play for XCIT. Just MHO.
