Is Yahoo! so fucking desperate?
Posted by {MaX} on May 17, 2006
If you visit the Yahoo! homepage, you’ll probably come across this -
- Look for the search box in the upper right corner of your browser.
- Click on the small triangle in the search box.
- Choose Yahoo!. You’re done!
Are they so fucking desperate to increase their search engine hits that they actually have to ask their users to choose their engine as default? Man, I’ve never seen a worst marketing strategy. I hope somebody sues them soon for some weird patent or something. I’m sure they’ll be able to find something (after all, Creative is suing Apple for a patent infringement which involves the side scrolling interface of Creative MP3 players, and an infinite number of monkeys, I mean dollars).

but this is no way to advertise. you can’t TELL the people to make your engine default.

Yes. Stupid warez sites or sites made by immature designers. No big company who seriously wanna do business have anything like that on their pages.
