Just wondering... What must

Just wondering... What must going through the heads of Jerry Yang and David Filo. You know, the guys that founded Yahoo. There was a time when we all thought Yahoo was really cool. It was absolutely the most efficient way to find really good information on the Web.

I rarely visit Yahoo anymore. Sometimes I go to Yahoo just to see what it's like at the present time, hoping that maybe it has reversed course and could once again become the Yahoo that we all knew and loved, although I know that will never happen. What I find are just pop-up ads, sponsorsed links, and blinky banners, which only serve to make the useful information that much harder to find. Does anyone pay attention to banner ads or pop-up ads?

And poor Jerry and David. Their company has been taken over. Okay, well, well they aren't really poor.
