AOL's decline not due to outsourcing search...
I understand the comparison, but AOL's decline was not due to outsourcing search to Google. It declined because it was too slow in migrating to broadband and because it kept charging (for too long) what other properties (like Yahoo) were giving away for free. AOL is what brought me to the internet in the first place, back in the early 1990s, but I rarely use it now, not even their email. Unfortunately for AOL, it's kind of stigmatized now as an internet dinosaur.

With all that said, I do agree that Yahoo is likely to become like AOL over the next decade--an internet relic that's past its prime.
