Yahoo! continues its trajectory towards irrelevance

Based on the two recommendations I laid out in my last post, it seems like Yahoo! is going to have difficulty catching up in either domain.

First bit. I found this piece in Valleywag that talks about Yahoo!'s new Digg clone, "Yahoo! Buzz." I think this line nicely sums up the expectations:

[It's] another example of Y! not innovating but rather copying existing products in the marketplace poorly.

Bit 2. Techcrunch ran this cool graph last week which showed the demographics of the people who use Yahoo! searches vs. Google searches. Let's just say that poor, uneducated people use Yahoo! and trendy, self-absorbed educated people use Google. (...now all I need to do is buy a Prius and switch to Mac)
