    Yahoo is trying to create relevancy by acquiring it's own platform e.g. Flickr + Tumblr

    Yahoo is desperate not to become a myspace. Free Email is still its primary draw.

    Whereas Google just builds it's own platform, waits to see if people use it, and then tweak it or just dump it and try again. Eventually they'll get it right. They already have Free Email. Apps. Social platform. Just need to combine a little emotional connection and it will explode.
