They can’t make acquisitions for their own sake, but they do need to pick up the pace.

Yahoo doesn’t seem to be clamoring for the youth demo, add in the fact that they just announced slower ad sales with Facebook’s biz model of Banner Ads as only source of revenue, I can see why they are walking away.

The quality of their banner ads is junk too.

Taking advantage of this ad-hoc focus group (ages 14-18), I heard them rave about Facebook, each asking the other for an “add”. I asked about MySpace, and most said they used to use it, but that it’s “sketchy”. They like the fact that Facebook only let’s people contact you if they’re in your circle of friends.

Maybe this is why MySpace’s average age is > 35
