Not that I know of. Google was established by Stanford Phd students Larry Page and Sergey Brin as a research project. Both are worth 13 billion in their early 30s. \n\nGoogle just formed a partnership with Sun Microsystems though.

yeah..... a featured user needs to have like 5000 points i think... the fact that "donald trump" got less than 100 points mean that yahoo gave him special permission to be posted as featured.....

Google has a reputation for being the best (or at least very good) at what they do, and they've been getting into a lot of different areas, competing with Microsoft, for instance. They acquire companies doing interesting things, and get their fingers in everything. They own and have access to a lot of potential. They're sitting on some potentially very big things, like a lot of "dark fibre" (unused fibre optic cables). They could build their own private internet.\nTheir mission is "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible." There's a lot of money (and power) to be had there. They also have a lot of talent working for them. Some of the best tech minds of our time work there, like Vint Cerf (the "father of the internet").\nAlso, approximately 60% of all web searches are done with Google. They see more traffic than any other site on the web, IIRC. \nTheir income is huge. They made over 6 billion dollars in 2005, and their net profit margin was 23.87% Revenue is up 92% in the last quarter, and profits are up 267%! Even if their many ventures don't pan out, they're still a big money-maker, and will continue to be. They have continually increased their stock value, beating all expectations of analysts.

The finder is on the main page... just type in what you want and search!  But you may have meant who is the founder of Yahoo.com... in that case, the answer is Jerry Yang and David Filo.  They founded the company in 1994.

Probably to maintain the Yahoo! branding when Konfabulor was purchased with Yahoo!.\n\nNo real answer was given by Yahoo! (or the Konfabulator team).

Yahoo! was founded in 1994 by Stanford Ph.D. students David Filo and Jerry Yang. It began as a hobby and has evolved into a global brand that has changed the way people communicate with each other, conduct transactions and access, share, and create information.\n\nPls check the links provided.

In my opinion (which is based on the facts,) Bill Gates is THE best entrepreneur in the world. He started his own company, Microsoft, and has since then become the richest man in the WORLD! His net worth is $40.7 BILLION!\n\nThis site has some more info on Bill and his accomplishments: http://www.forbes.com/finance/lists/10/2003/LIR.jhtml?passListId=10&passYear=2003&passListType=Person&datatype=Person&uniqueId=BH69

I don't think the Yahoo stock is going to crash. Its reputation, strong financial competences and great experience in the new economy are the most relevant aspects in evaluating Yahoo as an investing option. The opinion of non-experts isn't so important.

Yahoo is a publicly traded company and 'owned' by its stockholders.

Yahoo is being taken to the cleaners by Google.  Google is a better managed more diversified company that is beating them in every area right now.\n\nYahoo does have value, it has a large cash holding and I might even buy some if the price drifts down to the low $20's.  They are working on a new algorithm for their search engine which will make it work more effectively and allow them to take some ad dollars back from Google.  The project has been delayed a couple of times but should be live by early next year.  That means the first couple of quarters next year should be more impressive than this year.  \n\nThere is also a floor under the stock - if Yahoo falls too far there will be a takeover bid.  There are not that many search engines out there.  Microsoft is normally mentioned, but companies like Disney, Viacom or even Time Warner would be interested.  However whatever happens Yahoo will NOT be going back to $356.  Those days are over.
