Yahoo's stock (YHOO) is in a slump and there are reports that the company will be laying off thousands of employees. For years Yahoo has been fighting to compete with internet search giant, Google, but it just can't seem to get up from the knock-out.

However, with many people angry at Google (myself included), web masters and bloggers are looking to other search engines for alternative ways to get web traffic.

The biggest challenge for Yahoo is to find a way to grab the attention of the younger generation and to develop or invest in a platform that will appeal to them. I also think that Yahoo has a chance with web publishers if the company will just take the time to reach out to them with an offering that outwits Google.
