Yahoo must have been a giant once in the Web-Sphere and its homepage may attract the largest traffic but one thing is for sure, Yahoo is kicking empty cans to create noise. Launching services to boost business or perhaps to show investors that Yahoo is still living, just hasn’t ticked off. The idealistic optimism of Jerry Yang might have sounded good earlier when the Yahoo/Google deal was in full sway, while trouble between Icahn, Yang, Yahoo and Microsoft kept increasing; at last every one has realized that it’s just beyond all limits and that Yahoo needs a miracle, double quick.

We here have tried to help Yahoo, by being hopeful about the company and giving Yang every bit of trust, even going far enough to saying that Microsoft’s acquisition of Yahoo may very well end what Yahoo is, but what have we got? Falling stock rates, axing staff and ever growing discontent amongst the individuals who make up Yahoo. Where is the plan? What is the plan to be more precise?

I will be realistic here, I understand the economic crisis have hit every sand and saddle across the globe, but Yahoo cannot escape the fact that it has been falling long before that. Saying that lay-offs may cut costs is justified but Yahoo has a different story. Even before they thought about slimming Yahoo up, key people in Yahoo kept exiting; the reason is now obvious, they, with all their experience were seeing things heading of towards trouble and depreciating in value at a rapid rate. Had Yang stabilised the company I would have written in his favour forever, but his denial of Microsoft’s bid of $31 a share now appears to be the most stupid decision ever taken. Yahoo’s current stocks have fallen from more than $25 a share to lower than $12 each with its current evaluation placed at $14 billion. Surprisingly enough, I don’t feel sorry for it. Reason? Everything that’s opposite of what I have written in Yahoo’s support.

There is still a possibility for Yahoo to get its ass out of trouble by negotiating a deal with Microsoft or pray that the one with Google pulls off fine. For I am sure if their deal with Google gets a NO, Yahoo would be sold off on streets at less than $5 a share.
