With such wonderful people at the helm a decade ago, the most interesting question for Internetologists has to be: Why does Yahoo! fail? The standard arguments as to why Google beat them so thoroughly are pretty easy to brush off: They were dumb. Really? With all that dough and a head of HR from the cultural utopia of Southwest Airlines, they hired dumb people?
