Because of fear of competetors and a decline in Yahoo's visitors from twenty-two milion to less than five million, Yahoo cheif executive Jerry Yang displayed a prototype version of Yahoo's e-mail server that had been turned into a "powerful communications hub". Jerry Yang, as well as some shareholders, are turning to this to help keep Yahoo alive and booming. This new communications hub could do things such as tap into social networks to give higher priority to messages coming from senders with close ties to their recipients, and use developers’ programs to help organize a dinner for a group of people. Theese are some of the many functions Yahoo shareholders and buisiness men are relying on to save their company.
http://www.yahoo.com/,
http://www.google.com/,
http://www.facebook.com/, and
http://www.microsoft.com/ are all competing against eachother, hoping to take their visitors and maintain the highest population out of the rest, untill they are the one and only site of their kind.

At the Consumer Electronics Show, Edward J. Zander, left, chief executive of Motorola, announced a partnership with Yahoo, through which Yahoo’s mobile software would be made available on Motorola handsets.
As you can see, Yahoo is trying to keep up their renown and avalable technology to keep users in their grasp.
I think Yahoo's e-mail-communications hub plan will be successfull, because the new system they are trying to create can really save time and energy for business workers, but I don't think it will pull them over the top of the food chain. This plan will buy them time and money, but will not get them out of the competition.
