Google outshines it, so you will continuously feel bad about that, despite the fact that it is a good company and leader in many areas other than search. For example, Yahoo is number one in Mail, Messenger, Finance, News, and Sports; it is only number two to Google in Search. Unfortunately, Search is the biggest money maker due to its highly monetizable business model (explicit intent).
Having a clear, focused sense of direction for a sustained time period, they keep flipping around a lot.
