PaidContent.org reports that “Yahoo Shuts Down Yahoo Go; Will Continue Building Smartphone Apps“. It seems that the focus will be on (mobile) web services and applications for high end smartphones (= Android and iPhone?).
Yahoo Go is probably the victim of both poor strategy and execution. The application itself never impressed me.
I haven’t used Yahoo web portal in ages, but took a brief look at their new web site recently. The site used to be the Internet equivalent to TV channel packages as brought to you by your cable or satellite TV provider. Now it looks more like your own mash-up of web sites.
The web will continue to be the platform, but I do not know what a portal look like. It won’t be like Yahoo Go, but is the new Yahoo web site the way to go?
