Yahoo is going downhill (their web mail client is proof). The only way they can keep up is by buying cool web2.0 sites.<br><br>Hopefully all these companies will clump together like a whole bunch of drowning cats trying to climb on top of each other to survive.

Boo for that. I hope the web is still usable in 5 years. I like how the silverlight website talks about standards and then makes you install sliverlight to see anything.
