Calling Yahoo a pure sales and marketing site, with a worthless brand, is silly.

The big moneymakers at Yahoo continue to be content-driven parts of the site like sports, dating, and classifieds, and the brand is one of the company's biggest assets.

Rather than having one product and focusing on it, Yahoo is still a big Jello mold of a company, with various tidbits (Flickr, jobs site, delicious) suspended inside it with no clear rhyme or reason.

Disclaimer: used to work there, don't anymore

Yahoo needs a FriendFeed aquisition to better tie together their many sub-properties.

Millions of people (myself included) participate in a variety of their tools : commerce, stocks, email, chat, flickr, etc. but there is no clear thread holding them together.

Their homepage does a poor job of this IMO.

AOL is doing everything Yahoo should have done.
