Out with the old, in with Yahoo

Yahoo is planning a huge change to try to remain a rival of google. The are going to add outside applications in order to try to get more people to be interested in their site. They're also trying to make their e-mail system more effective and more appealing. They are trying to take the ideas of all the other successful internet sites, and use them to make their site the best.

Facebook is an ever-growing site that allows people to interact and talk with eachother. It has also used outside applications successfully. They allow other sites and other people to design programs and then they put them on Facebook to be joined or used by whoever wants to use them. This is one of the "new" ideas that Yahoo has for it's new site. This is Mark Zucherburg, the founder of Facebook.

Yahoo is going to watch over the searches that are made with their search engine, and try to appeal to the audience that makes up the majority by putting featured articles on the front.

If Yahoo wants to become a major search engine, their going to have to compete Google, Facebook, and many other sites out there, and I just don't think they can do it.
