Some people just don't seem to get it, do they?
Ari Balogh says “Search the way we know it, with 10 blue links, Google has clearly won that game. Saying anything other than that is just not stating the fact." - well done. A for effort. Someone else won the game you were playing in, you acknowledged it, you moved on, kudos to you. You're welcome to marry my sister any time.
Oh, hold on a minute ...
"Yahoo! is also aiming to make many of its other services more Facebooky. The company believes it effectively already has a social networking infrastructure underlying its services and just needs to add the bells and whistles. It is adding more social features, like status updates, to its mail service shortly." - Erm, guys, Facebook are playing that game and they have it won hands down. Myspace and Bebo are playing catch-up, and what you're aiming to do is add a status upgrade to whatever shitty interface you already have and enter the pack at the back? Good luck with that.
Coming soon:
"Yahoo! to! take! on! Wal-mart! and! Tesco! at! supermarkets!"
"Yahoo! to! take! on! Flickr! for! photosharing!"
"Yahoo! to! take! on! Home Office! for! stupidity!"
etc.
Mine's the one where I left my common sense in my other jacket.
