"Google is having trouble because of Google's search business alone only knows. That's only half of our business, (though), 99.9 percent of its business," Bartz said as quoted by the BBC, Thursday (04/30/2010). He said Google had to create new companies that do as much as Yahoo every year if I wanted to say shocking.

Comments are thrown Bartz, when asked whether steps reproduce the Yahoo network and Web services as a new strategy. Yahoo currently has more than 20 websites and Internet services. Most of them are available in 20 different languages.

Many analysts who criticize Yahoo makes too many services, creating too many new sites, and no serious acquisitions. Even tech site Techcrunch mention Yahoo as a place of death of new firms.

However, it is indisputable Bartz. He thinks Yahoo still has a loyal customer with the longest time visit rather than Google or even Facebook.
