I Miss Yahoo: Please Make a Come Back, Please

It has been a very hard road for Yahoo, virtually since they began running down the path of building their own search engine and Panama (their new search marketing platform). I honestly miss the old Yahoo where we had Overture and a more personal side to them. It seems to me that Yahoo may not be able to turn things around. It seems to me that they are run down and exhausted. But I really hope Yahoo can make some type of come back.

There are stories that Yahoo is doing a major brand overhaul and refocusing. Is it too little, too late? A WebmasterWorld thread has conversation around that possibility. Will it make a difference? Is it simply too late? Take our poll, do you think Yahoo will turn things around?

Here is a flash from the past, the Yahoo "hair" commercial:

The good old days!
