From what I was told, Yahoo laid off all of the U.S. developers working on toolbar and gave their jobs to people in India. To add insult to injury, the U.S. workers were required to train the Indian developers otherwise they would lose their severance. I'm sure the people in India are happy, but F Yahoo for screwing over people who put years of their lives into the company. I’m staying away from this on principle.

And I correct my previous comment: Yahoo is more like an mid-age women, who realizes, that her best years are over and tries to catch up with younger women. But really: I could save Yahoo so easy! First a new Logo, than second yahoo.com is only a search engine with a searchbar - just like Google. Ditch this whole "Portal-Thing". They could add a Link on the Homepage who sais: Take me to the portal. And than the portal would be yahoo-portal.com or something like that. Yahoo ist just NOT sexy anymore.

I think one thing that people forget about with Yahoo! is that they have an entire ecosystem, so many times they are providing a new service or product to serve their existing user base, not necessarily attract new people or early adopters.

A full Adobe Air app ? Yeah, that doesn't take any space... or how about just a constant tab open on each site? A toolbar is still a perfectly excellent way to integrate stuff. Why don't you install one first before saying anything? Both Yahoo's and Google's bars are highly successful and keep getting good upgrades. I access most of what I need from Yahoo's toolbar: Facebook, RSS Feeds, Flickr, and others... all within one click, and often, without even having to open a page.
