Yahoo


Yahoo is a major search engine for music, information, pictures, and many other items. What made Yahoo popular was its e-mail software. A business plan which I think could help make yahoo a major website like google or facebook is having peopple able to interact with each other and able to have a profile and other personal information. Yahoo's business plan is going down the tubes now, since almost every major search engine has email now Yahoo is losing its edge. The New York Times arcticle stated that Yahoo's main reason for people using it was e-mail software. Now everyone has there own email and each is a different site supporting it, weather it is google, yahoo, aim, facebook, a school or anything else. But besides e-mail yahoo is a search engine for music and pictures. In November Yahoo got 96 million vistors which was more than any other website. So even with old e-mailing, Yahoo is still on top.


Now Facebook has people that can talk to others in a matter of minutes and have pictures of friends and other family members. Google has interviews, books, and papers which can help others with contacting certian things.
The creator of Facebook; Mark Zuckerberg is only in his 20's and is a billionaire. He created a website that allows people to interact with each other which is really helpful for information and just talking.
Yahoo is still good but it has its competition, so it will have to work for its glory.
