The Panama model takes the Yahoo advertising model the Google Adwords way. That's it. Nothing's going to change in the customer's perspective.Advertisers may from now on have to pay lesser to get their ads displayed. The biggest loser is Yahoo itself as this model will not click as much as it did for Google, simply because Google's search engine market is umpteen times greater than Yahoo's. Regarding Orkut, I don't see why you feel the interest is fading. Maybe on a personal perspective. Google's all set to relaunch orkut. Orkut's now in beta with many more features coming up and shall be launched again; mostly to recapture the American audiences. 80635@desicritics.org Thu, 8 Feb 2007 00:38:41 EST http://desicritics.org/2007/02/07/063233.php#comment-80114 I think Yahoo! has a good chance with this revision. We have seen over the years, that customers would like to see change & those services which do not wish to change over time & changing attitude of people have suffered. MicroSoft, biggest example. Period! Thats how Google came on top. They are offering a variety of services but when it comes to depth of offering, & features they lack big time compared to Yahoo! & Amazon. See, how orkut is dying a slow death. Interest is fading. Take Google Talk, Nothing special happening or no new features. Do something google. Or U gonna get kicked in the a$$ sometime sooner. Go Yahoo! 80114@desicritics.org Wed, 7 Feb 2007 20:33:13 EST http://desicritics.org/2007/02/07/063233.php#comment-79494 Yahoo sucks.
