When a television show has peaked there is usually a defining episode that marks the passage of the show into an era of fading quality and interest until its demise. It is called "Jumping the Shark", and there is a whole website dedicated at www.jumptheshark.com.

Well, I figure the same can happen for Internet companies, and I want to be one of the first to note that I think Yahoo has "jumped the shark".

Yahoo had a cool page that you could create - the My Yahoo page - that you could concentrate stocks, news articles, etc.  into. I have resisted going to the Beta site, because I was happy with the current version. By accident, I went to the Beta - and now all of my content is lost + plus the pages take forever to load. Sometims "more" is not "better". I rarely use Yahoo as my search engine of choice, and the only reason to go was to see the content on my page on My Yahoo. I can usually get a quick view of the stock market and the latest market news.

Too bad for Yahoo. They lost my last reason to visit them.
