I think either they need to get their engines better to try to even compete against Google/Yahoo, or they need to come up with a distinguished feature that is completely out of the blue that is unique and useful. 5.4 Billion down to 94 Million is quite a drop. Perhaps they should penetrate the online gaming industry as a niche? I don’t think that going into the video direction is the right path.
