>We are witnessing a historical paradigm shift. it's a search engine, just like dozens of other search engines, not the second coming of christ. it happens to be a very popular website, but so what? did you know that not ONE of the major website tracking companies index porn sites? If you take the top three or four porn sites- penthouse, playboy, you name it- and add them together they have more traffic than Yahoo does. Does this mean the paradigm shift is towards porn? Playboy made over 10 million dollars in profit last year on its website- more than Yahoo did. Does this mean Playboy's website should be worth 5 billion dollars? Quit trying to put yahoo on a pedestal. There's nothing special about it, except its stock price.
