It seems to me that Mayer is just trying to create her own Google. The issue here is that while it's all well and good to improve email and search, and that should be done, there are much more important things to be done. Reinvigorating Flickr and focussing on giving the little talent that remains there latitude to make great things should be higher on the list.

In my mind, Yahoo has lost already. It's in the bin with Myspace and Aol. So I don't think that Mayer can pull it out of there by refreshing Yahoo Mail and search. But let's see what she can do.

Sorry. How annoying. I apparently came to the article from some blog. What will make the article appear in its entirety is to get there from a Google search. It's top result when Googling for:
