@bazzacollins 1) Apple buys Yahoo! 2) Relaunches as dedicated search engine 3) Markets as 'ethical', FULL tax paying, just to kill Google.

@Lewesbusker Yahoo's search engine is Bing. It doesn't have its own search. Apple would have to buy Microsoft to make that work! -
@bazzacollins I know. But Yahoo! brand is still strong enough, certainly with 30+, to be used as front for any back end search engine. -
@Lewesbusker Hmmm... If Apple wanted to get into search business (it doesn't) it would use its own brand. -
@bazzacollins If Apple wanted to kill Google (it probably does) then using the Yahoo! brand/heritage as front could make sense ;-) -
@Lewesbusker Don't buy it. Yahoo's a tarnished brand. Apple wouldn't want it. They're trying to kill Google by killing web ads. -
@bazzacollins@Lewesbusker Just curious, does anyone still use Yahoo?
I thought it'd been filed in the bin along with AOL. -
@MartinPPorter@bazzacollins Yahoo! user numbers not as dire as you might think http://expandedramblings.com/index.php/yahoo-statistics/ … But they are currently directionless - 1 more reply

@bazzacollins yahoo probably only limped on this long because of nostalgia -
@projiuk Inertia, perhaps. -
@bazzacollins perhaps, but as far as I can tell yahoo doesn't do a single thing better or even close to other companies
