Yahoo's Slow death began when they lost their yahoo messenger base, Search people already started using google back then and when there is no need of messenger many people forgot about Yahoo's Existence.
I used to mail/search/chat/read on Yahoo frequently 8-10 years ago, it became occasionally 4-5 years ago and Rarely since past 2 years.
Thats the degradation.
I loved and Love Yahoo for the products and Innovation they brought but unfortunately they are Just Bunch of Innovators out there.
I have been inside yahoo premises many times, and what I found is lack of vision in terms of business acumen. That lead to many lost opportunities.
I Strongly feel Google in Search is unbeatable, But Google is following Yahoo faster towards brainless products.

Not likely. Google has been popular for a decade. Didn't Bing come out around 2009?

I dont think so, Google has long surpassed yahoo and more recently yahoo was just passed up by Bing.
I think yahoo is dying or already dead, Unless they make some drastic action to regain their marketshare

yahoo is on the brink of collapse and is desperate to be bought. I estimate the chance of yahoo beating google in the se "race" is 1 in 500,000.

Even those odds I'd call fairly unrealistic. Google is exceptionally well funded, many times more-so than Yahoo.

What amazes me is that Yahoo still made over $1 billion in profit last year. Google earned almost 10 times that, but a billion dollars is no pocket change. Yahoo should have bought Instagram for $1 billion they earned last year to give themselves fresh blood and energy.

I believe the logic here is flawed.
Facebook bought Instagram because Instagram was the leading competitor to what Facebook was already trying to develop: an easy way to share images. The acquisition by Facebook makes sense because it integrates with their main platform.
To say that Yahoo should have bought Instagram instead is rather illogical. Where/how is Yahoo going to use Instagram to promote its platform/product and thereby increase sales?

This isn't about where to use the product or how to integrate it with their platform - it is about a lot of catch up work to do in the social web.
