Have been watching...but have to disagree...the future successes of the internet will be.... 1). Those that don't view the world of communication as two separate entities. 2). Those that realize that the key to generating web traffic is to direct it from existing media to the internet, and 3). Those that provide the most accessibility to all the people who aren't already on the internet especially Mr. & Mrs. Joe Six Pack. Plus comparing Yahoo news content with CBS's content, experience and capabilities is plain silly. As soon as I became aware of MarketWatch, the default page on my browser changed from Yahoo's finance page to CBS's MarketWatch page. Yahoo provides absolutely no analysis. Yahoo is one of the Internet bulbs that has already flowered this season. Don't ever even use Yahoo's search engine anymore...Yahoo's strengths can and are being beat...by upstarts...ultimately they won't be able to command the advertising rates they receive because they won't get as many hits or impressions as other less dry and analytic portals come into play. Just my contrarian opinion of course. ztect
