Coke, you pay for. YHOO, you get for free. OK, so YHOO sells ads. Know anybody who ever bought anything because of a web ad? Not me. So Coke's business model works. YHOO's won't, IMO.

William, i invest for the future, but base my decisions on what HAS happened in the past to other companies, in other industries, in the face of the same type of rapid technological innovation and increased competition that is now facing Yoohoo? but some people here seem to be investing for the future, based on what they HOPE will happen in the future. And all the "investors" who extrapolate future long-term EPS from a year or two of Yoohoo?'s being lucky and smart enough to be in the right place could be facing some bad news down the road when the technology changes (and people go away from using search engines and the generic web portals), and we have better push technology to get people the specific information they want when they need it, with a minimum of wasted space for garbage ads, which, BTW, advertisers will pay less for once they figure out it's a very expensive way to advertise.
