Yahoo is for sale

I'd love to buy Yahoo, just as they want to sell it, and Microsoft does not want to have it.

What would I do with Yahoo?

What would you do?

I think I would reduce Yahoo, or slice it into bits. One Yahoo for eMail, one for search, one for communication, one for content.

My favorite Yahoo would be the one for communication.

Take all the knowledge this machine has, and make sthg new out of it.

Small features, that show alle the intelligence, that Yahoo gathered over time.

They know, what people like, what people surf, what people talk about.

So picture a new Yahoo messenger, where you get ideas, what to talk about, and who is interested in the conversation. Out of search, out of eMail, they have this information. About You, about others.

So: Alexis, Ron would like to discuss golden online future with you. You don't know Ron? Well, Ron writeseMails on Online Business Models. Shall we connect?

We like to connect with friends online, but what about strangers?

If it fits into your profile, that changes, that generates automatically, semantically and on behaviour?

And then?

Place ads, just as Amazon does it with its affiliate scripts, just around the communication.

Give me Yahoo, I wnat it. Microsoft has different things to do.
