If you play Google's game, you will be destroyed. Google is just too powerful to fight head to head. Google is the champ of collecting, using and exploiting user data.

Personal privacy is an issue that has come into the public's eye recently, and will continue to grow in importance as they realize that they are not only being "sold" to any advertiser who wants their data, but they are being actively manipulated by being so thoroughly analyzed.

Yahoo can distinguish itself if it can implement, market and publicize a system by which user data and privacy are protected to a greater degree that Google is willing to do- which is not at all. Privacy is THE issue that Yahoo can compete with that Google can not.

Give users a choice about who can know their info, and who can market to them, or offer a completely private email and web experience for those who wish to pay a reasonable monthly or yearly fee.

Why not expand your Hosting Solutions with Add-Ons such as Word Press, Facebook, Servers, Domains, Software for SEO, but unlike Google, avoid the Mistake of Sell something in a way that who gets it, feels like working for Google!!! Wont work!!! Works for People without Knowledge, who also end without doing nothing.
I need a way to Manage a few (no more then 5 for Me), with a Server, but a Small Server, not a Red Hat or Azure, something like a Smartphone as an iPhone, Windows Phone, Android, only Hosted in the Cloud to be Online, Backedup, and Searchable by Engines.
Your Mail is by far the best of Gmail+Outlook+AOL together. Prices are OK, but for some Small Business, a Server is a must, since they need a Solution that includes a Word Press, Domains, SEO & Analytics, Webdesign. Theres a few Hostings that offer this, but they dont have the YAHOO Brand, people avoid using same host for all, end up changing frequently, till they have success & buy a Website frm a Host Specialist, Expensive, but Safe, Trusted & Full Featured!!!
Now, you have all this, except the Agregation of Blog+Site+Domains+Server+Adds+SEO all Together!!! But, you have it all in separate. Except the Server, but thats an easy one. Use Microsoft or Apple, or Suse (MS Related like you).
Anyway, no one can profit when both Clients send the Money for a few Months, and quit due to Misleading Adds, Extra Costs and theyre own Hosting making Profits both with them and theyre conections, taking theyre Profits, and Money.
Go Yahoo!!!!

Walmart has a spot on tons of pages and im not talking about the adds to the right side. So does Payless Infant shoes, buybuy baby, Amazon, Couture and many others. Take them off so each place only has one entry or im going to find another place to search in.
Im sure a lot of other people feel the same way but dont send anything like this to you they just dont use you anymore. By the way the email address i gave you will be deleted in one month so i dont get a bunch of junk mail from you all. Fix this or i leave in one month along with all the others that dont tell you.
