Just curious. Google came out of nowhere and ran away with almost 81% of search share to yahoo’s 9%. I have been an admirer of yahoo for long, but if u look at India’s online universe and user behaviour, how do u perceive yahoo as a product for now and for times ahead? I feel an eerie sense of stagnation in yahoo’s approach, considering most users still look at it as just email and messsenger. So no matter wat yahoo does to strengthen its arsenal, the recall or perception seems to have stagnated.

Indiatimes, Rediff and Sify have ceased to report any more inorganic growth spurts, but can yahoo pull off a coup in india’s growing internet community? My personal view is…yahoo is under-marketed among the youth….I mean its visibility..when it comes to new products or services is too dim, so it ends up remaining a mail and messnger brand….a strong one at that.

Any views?
