Photo Needs Caption and Yahoo Gets Too Much Grief For Not Buying YouTube

Craig Blitz, one my fellow regulars at Grounded Coffee and Tea, recent posted this fantastic photo on his flickr page.  He is looking for captions.  Please feel free to add one.

Stock Market Angle?
Yahoo (YHOO) gets too much grief for not buying YouTube.  Yahoo owns Flickr, which is a widely used and excellent community site and the ultimate appication of Web 2.0.  As a matter of fact it's the only site I've ever paid an annual subscription to get an upgrade for.  I think the $25 bucks a year for nearly limitless uploads, other minor features and archiving is a great deal. 

Disclosures and confessions:  I own YHOO.  (I am short Jan 2008 35 strike calls on YHOO) I have a Flickr Pro-Account.  I am a photo nerd.  I do not currently own any Swedish stocks directly.  I spend way too much time at Grounded using up their free Wi-Fi Band Width.
