I just would like to know about your reason why Yahoo lacked behind Google, though it was launched before Google. Please share your opinion on the issue.

I think they didn't realized the importance of upgrading at regular intervals. They also didn't introduced new services like Google did.

They were to slow and I think they had their minds on making other parts of the site better.

Google went on a buying spree, bought up all the new tech ideas etc... yahoo had no change anymore.. but now they are coming back

[Luke Beale]

Google has even started in other areas (Gphone) or something

why yahoo lacked?
only one reason "stupid"

I think they lack innovative thinking. Google have considered the importance of innovation and thats why they are doing so good. I am sure Yahoo will bounce back hard.

They didn't focused on the very basics of the business. They overlooked search engine and focused on their messenger and were very reluctant with search engine.

They were bit reluctant to change and they have to pay for this. Now more and more yahoo users are switching to Google. They need to be serious now.
