			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There was a time that <strong>Yahoo</strong> was the place to go to online. Anything having to do with the Internet, Yahoo was the place to visit.</p>
<p>How times have changed!</p>
<p>Now Yahoo is a stumbling, bumbling Internet company that doesn&#8217;t know its ass from a hole in the ground. They&#8217;re losing money and market share in an Industry where most of their competitors are raking in millions and gaining market share.</p>
<p>While Yahoo buys companies like MyBlogLog and quickly applies their market share losing techniques to the newly acquired companies (thus causing these new companies to lose market share also), their competitors are buying companies along the same fields and quickly entering new and untapped markets.</p>
<p>Is it any wonder no one really wants Yahoo?</p>
<p>I have <strong>Yahoo</strong> set as my default startup page on my Computers. Simply because I like the layout of Yahoo and I want to see News at a glance. MSN&#8217;s start up page is too busy. So it&#8217;s Yahoo.</p>
<p>Now today, the staff that puts up the news has just been beside their self chuckling with glee like two school girls who just saw their first naked guy.</p>
<p>Here are the featured stories on Yahoo. <strong>Michelle Obama and the bump</strong> thing on the View, Why the moon will look larger on the Horizon than when it&#8217;s directly overhead, an article about an award winning Pizzaria in Phoenix and another article about surveying to find dirty ballparks.</p>
<p>Yep, that&#8217;s Yahoo&#8217;s Feature News of the day. In Theory, the most important news today are those 4 headlines!</p>
<p>Now are you beginning to see why Yahoo is on a downward spiral and they have no clue as to how and fix it.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also no secret that the staff and Yahoo (as well as the staffs at other Internet firms such as Google) are so left bending it hurts.</p>
<p>They have been all over their self about this <strong>Obama bump </strong>thing. They can&#8217;t seem to stop reporting on it. I&#8217;ve asked around, and many people have never heard of it or could care less. Not one person I spoke to thought it was &#8220;cool&#8221; or &#8220;hip&#8221;. Yet, Yahoo runs whole articles on the &#8220;Obama bump&#8221; and how it&#8217;s attracting younger voters to him because it makes him look cool and hip. Yes folks, this is what Yahoo considers newsworthy content.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also the same reason they keep losing market share which translates into lower advertiser interest.</p>
<p>Not only that, have you actually tried searching for anything on Yahoo lately? Geez, talk about spam results and irrelevant pages being returned, they search engine really sucks!</p>
<p>There was a time when Yahoo broke new ground with outside the box thinking and innovative products and services for its customers. Sadly, those times are gone, gone for good. Yahoo has forgotten how to be creative and innovative. They became complacent and then decided they wanted to become a liberal mouth piece in an attempt to replace Democratic Underground.</p>
<p>The only problem with that is they also wanted to keep market share and a sky high stock price. Consumers and stock purchasers have spoken with their wallets and it doesn&#8217;t look good for Yahoo.</p>
<p>Sorry Jerry, but you can&#8217;t have it both ways and the public has decided it doesn&#8217;t want a liberal left wing search engine that returns crappy results!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t know how many of you pay attention to the Logo&#8217;s of the major search engines like Yahoo and <strong>Google</strong>. But on every Holiday and special occassion, the search engines change their logo&#8217;s. Yeah, even for silly &#8220;feel good&#8221; occasions like <strong>Earth Day</strong> and <strong>Global Warming Awareness</strong> day. Google was the first to do this and Yahoo started doing it later.</p>
<p>Google does this for all Holiday&#8217;s except one (that I&#8217;ve noticed). Memorial Day. I&#8217;ve never seen them change their logo to celebrate Memorial Day. Who runs Google? Yeah, a bunch of bleeding heart liberal California nut job types who love to tell us Peasants how to live and tell us we use too much Fossil Fuel while traveling around in their Custom 767 AND their 757.</p>
<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s what Yahoo&#8217;s front page looked like today</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dirtfromtexas.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/yahoomemorialday.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-162" title="yahoomemorialday" src="http://www.dirtfromtexas.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/yahoomemorialday-300x58.png" alt="yahoo logo memorial day" width="314" height="60" /></a></p>
<p>Notice the Dog Tags and Purple Heart? You&#8217;d think that Yahoo would be the hands on favorite of most Liberal Search Engine, but it looks like Google has that title all wrapped up.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a look at Google&#8217;s front page today.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dirtfromtexas.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/googlememorialday.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-163" title="googlememorialday" src="http://www.dirtfromtexas.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/googlememorialday-300x108.png" alt="googles memorial day logo" width="300" height="108" /></a></p>
<p>See the change? Oh, that&#8217;s right, there isn&#8217;t one to see!</p>
<p>Like I said earlier, this isn&#8217;t something new for Google. They&#8217;ve never changed their logo in honor of Memorial Day, at least none that I&#8217;ve seen in the last few years.</p>
<p>So, Google, just what is it about Memorial Day that you believe doesn&#8217;t justify changing your logo?</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to send Google a message asking them what&#8217;s up disrespecting Memorial Day, <a href="http://www.google.com/support/contact/bin/request.py?press=1">you can do that here.</a></p>
