food section ? hmm... that doesnt seem like a very good idea, but i guess they would try anything to see if they will get success any where after they lost the first place when talking about search engines.

if they added it, then they probably have seen that some people would be interested, and it does not really matter if they have a lot to offer, they are just trying to increase their "users" which is something many do.

yahoo is a de focussed company now. they are losing market and are doing nothing about it. Instead of diversification they should consolidate their stand

Yes, i think yahoo is following the same steps of Google and are trying to expand themselves....i think it is worth a try and at least it could make more people interested in yahoo...

google is the no 1 top search engine in the market.I think it sdifficult for yahoo to beat google.

Well I do not see anything wrong in trying new things. trying new ideas and new stuffs is the key to success and they are are well aware of it. Yahoo have a good share in the market.

Yes, i too feel that yahoo is doing a bit more than it should have been and has been laying its hand on all sorts of products rather than concentrating on a single or some products and improve it, this will definitely lead to losing their place on core products that they have!
