One of Yahoo’s vital points – perhaps it’s definitive vital point – is that it doesn’t innovate; it imitates. Even hyperimitates, if you like; soaking up like a sponge more and more corporate versions of cool ideas floating around the Net.
I don’t exactly agree with the Wallmart vs Target analogy, but yeah, they are both uninteresting… I would also argue that even Google does not innovate anymore; it is quickly turning into Microsoft…
