When Yahoo created individual business units around 2000 it created chaos. A relatively cooperative environment immediately became political and fragmented. There was no glue to keep the best interests of the company ahead of the business units. Apple got it right. Google got it right.

My bias on this one is that in an age when Apple’s secret to success has been to move AWAY from the silo’d business unit mentality (and towards integrated outcomes with clear user narratives), and Yahoo’s greatest struggles have historically been a by-product of failing to align business unit-driven “point products” around a unified vision + strategy, it seems that the best thing that the new CEO could have done would have been to abandon the business unit structure, and embrace a “One Company, One Story” strategy. Alas.

But it’s also many websites. Depending on your access point, especially with personalization, you might come in to a place that works for you.

Its not all about functionabitliy. Its also about what people think of the website as a whole. Personally I’m starting to hate yahoo because of the stupid articles with really bad, narrow-minded, biased writers.
