Advertising, ad campaigns, ad agencies, and the people that make it happen

Man, I haven't seen a plunge like that since Italy’s World Cup final.

If Yahoo is run anything like there new message boards on Yahoo Finance they are f---ed.

Well they have been doing catching up since the start, and when you are doing catching up, it's hard not to dissapoint.

Their Panama project is again delayed, it should have been out ages ago. No wonder their stocks plunged.

Yahoo needs to clean up all of their services in both functionality and style. Maybe then more people will visit and hence drive up ad revenues along with other expenditures. The only thing I've spent money on at Yahoo is for a year Pro membership on Flickr - and that wasn't their doing. If their other services were more attractive, I, as well as others, might spend more on Yahoo services. I doubt their advertising revenue will ever compete with Google, but it will at least improve with an increased number of visitors. Another thing is they have some excellent service APIs. However, they are for personal use only. I told them that the company I work for would be willing to pay for usage. They said they don't have a way to license it yet. How about that? You make something that can sell, but you have no way to collect on it. They need to focus on possible revenue points and take advantage of them. They are all over the place and can't get anything 100% right.
