In case you were wondering


Yahoo has ruled out following Google and producing its own browser.

Yahoo co-founder, David Filo, said that the outfit was focusing its attention on improving its current products and didn’t have time to think about such things. His ideas include opening up the Yahoo home page, the My Yahoo customized start page, Yahoo Mail, and search to others' applications.

Filo thinks that there will be much that will happen once Yahoo's Open Strategy gets under way. He said that Yahoo was getting to the point where everything we do is a completely open platform. While he liked Chrome ,he said, it's too soon to judge whether Google Chrome will change the game for Internet companies.

Filo said that Google had been trying a lot of things, most of which won't go anywhere. This might backfire, of course. Google's browser and other ideas attract customer attention. Open Strategies are a geek thing rather than something your average punter would be interested in.
