What about Yahoo!



22 percent less revenues - this is the number Internet giant Yahoo reported for their first quarter on Tuesday. Is this good or bad news? While investors seemed to be okay with the results, it still raises major concerns about how competitive is the Filo's and Yang's company.

Google and Microsoft are producing headlines on a frequent basis and especially Google is moving faster into new territories than any other Internet search company. Susan L. Decker, Yahoo's CFO, believes that the company is in a healthy state and told analysts that Yahoo had a 15 to 20 percent gain in search queries during the quarter. Again, is this good enough? Let's put it this way, since Terry S. Semel took over the Internet, he had a clear story in his mind - bring the company closer to the movie and media industry. I believe that this is definitely the right way to go. While Google will be the technological leader, Yahoo has to be the content king in order to survive. Semel's investment has yet to pay off - but I am sure it will.
