Yahoo! CEO Says Google Has a Growth Problem

Uhhh....... 99.9% of Google is just a search engine huh?

lol ok.

Google only known search? lets see here, Advertising, Andriod, Maps, Mail, Picasa (photo service), Cloud storage, Chrome, and MANY MANY many more things Google does.

Where is Yahoo's answer to google apps, google maps and street view, the Android OS, Youtube, the superior google news, Pisca, the Chrome OS and browser, and their vastly better email system?

Yahoo is known for floundering. Search is only half their business. The other half is floundering in a market where they just can't seem to compete any more.

I guess we should just ignore Google Earth, Google News, Youtube, Gmail, and every other feature that Google has made. Lady, I would stop worrying about how competitor's are doing, and start worrying about yourself. Last time I checked, Yahoo was losing money, fast.

And she is getting $47M in bonus? Seriously disgusting.

Don't know if I'm missing something here, but Google is always in the headlines but I NEVER hear of Yahoo doing anything except suffering lost market share.

does she really know what she is saying? NO!

$47 million in bonuses well spent, eh?

So what all does Yahoo do that diversifies its business so much more than Google's?

Does Google wake up in the middle of the night requiring the use of a toilet? Does Google think it has a Going problem? If so Google might actually have a growing problem.

Am i the only person who thought of this when i read the title?

I do believe she's going the road of "Any press is good press." You're now thinking about Yahoo!, aren't you?

this is just lame coming from Yahoo! a failing company know for being a "has been" search engine and messenger application - good one yahoo.

Yahoo is just jealous thats all..

She is right, Google has to grow, or better acquire.

After all putting all eggs in a basket, may not be appealing, some strategist from opponent side might think of breaking the eggs, or shifting the basket itself, or might even try to kill the hen, who gave the eggs, to find something inside it, who knows.

Note:
Wise folks make beautiful things that are true and necessary as well, something like search.
Then wise folks go ahead and enjoy it, might maintain it as well.
And then wise folks become foolish and themselves destroy it.

I'm stunned at the sheer stupidity of her comments,yet she sits in the high seat.

Sigh at her and sigh at Ya....who?

Google 1+1+1+1+1+ ah forget it, Yahoo = 0

Most of you probably wont get it since it doesn't really work over the internet..

Has this chick been living under a rock for the last year?

android.

With google maps alone with the search engine, Google is bigger than Yahoo x10.

Let's see Yahoo share price $16.53, Google share price $527.70 and thats today. LOL

Move on

"Overpaid CEO of an irrelevant has-been company spouts off about a successful competitor. Film at 11."

There, I fixed your headline for you.

I just can't believe it. I have noticed people calling Google SKYNET, and i understand that sort of paranoia cause we went through a lot of SKYNET's (microsoft, etc). But if one company in this world convinced me that it cares for the users it has, and especially for its employers, it's GOOGLE.

maybe not a perfect webmail app, but there's nothing better than GMAIL.
maybe not the perfect mobile OS, but far better availability for production through open source with Android.
google has so many maybe's which in the end will be our first choice solutions, it's the only company in the world that supports competitors (firefox is based on google soil), and they like goats (smart ass people, free goat cheese, i knew they were up to something).

they were the first who got together with nasa and did google maps, why didnt yahoo think of that?

nevermind, i am just pissing my self off.

Just FYI, Googles revenue is about 97% based on advertising (which they themselves classify in the same branch as search. Sure they do a hell of alot more than that but revenue wise, the money is coming from advertising.
Now what i don't is where she is getting her information that google is apparently not interesting, while I can't remember the last time I even saw the word yahoo! Sure their revenue might not be so highly based on search, but thats because no one uses their search engine!

I agree with the post above, Eric Schmidt is probably the most honest and ethical CEO I've ever heard about.

Did she suddenly forget about YouTube?

This woman is vapid. Google is overreaching itself, and it's getting way too big for its own britches. It won't be too many years before the feds start taking notice, if they haven't already.

47M for this.!! I can do it for half and then even help the environment by contributing for organisations such as CARE the same she spends on makeup.. Another point added for job's smartness wherein he himself does this.. $$ saved is $$ earned..

She's about a decade late with this statement... What she said is exactly what google has been doing for the past 5 years. Including gmail...
Sounds like she just wanted to get in the news because yahoo is suffering due to google's success.
