Nobody says "I need to yahoo that". And it's a big problem.

Yeah, all the products you listed are cool, but they are not worth $19 billion (current YHOO market cap.).

A lot of people say "I use Yahoo!" Yahoo also has a ton of partner traffic that represents a major chunk of their revenue which is never under the Yahoo! name.

You can have a strategy that doesn't care if people use you as a verb or think of you as a search engine, but you still need to have a strategy. Yahoo! has none.

Perhaps if Yahoo is worth $19 billion, Facebook is worth $30.
