"Yahoo has great undervalued, underutilized assets"

Such as? I'm not doubting you, I'm just curious to know.

I always thought Yahoo Pipes[1] was an amazing product - especially for when it was first released.

If Amazon had developed it they'd have called it 'Data Processing Services' and charged for how many cycles it took up.

Flickr, Yahoo as a portal (5th most visited site in the U.S.), International presence and distribution, Yahoo Finance, Games and Mail.

On top of that, Yahoo ain't financially dead a la Nokia and RIM. Yahoo is very profitable, with billions of revenues and net income. I wouldn't write off Yahoo just yet.

Their dev tools are awesome, their APIs are very easy to work with, and their ToS are incredibly permissive.
