I'm curious, besides having locked in throngs of users with their free email system years ago, what other competitive advantages does Yahoo have?


They have the #1 news site, #1 sports site, #1 finance site, and #1 entertainment site (they call it omg!) on the web.


Yahoo Finance is still the most popular consumer financial data site in the world, Flickr is the most common photo site used by professional photographers.
