Of course ads don't matter... Just remember: <<Yahoo is the biggest player. Yahoo has the largest franchise in Cyberspace. Yahoo has more users than anyone including AOL, and Yahoo is adding users faster than anyone.>>

<< Now you don't care about advertising? >> 1) Banner ads are boring/annoying now. Just wait until we get more bandwith and banner ads have animation and music and speech. 2) There are other ways for YHOO to make money besides stupid banner ads. Right now they are trying to build a brand name. There are going to be trillions of dollars of transactions conducted over the net in the coming years. If you have a hot product and you want to reach hundreds of millions of potential customers where are you going to place your advertisement? Places like Yahoo that have heavy traffic. Get a clue, Yahoo's going to the moon--- (soon)
