Yahoo wants to make better products for you, so it's going to try zooming in.

The Internet pioneer has many popular services. There's Yahoo Mail for email, Yahoo Screen for videos, Yahoo Sports for scores and athletics news, and Yahoo Search for, well, searching the Web.

When you take a look at Yahoo's overall line of products, however, you realize it's kind of a buffet. It's got a little bit of everything but no main dish.
The Sunnyvale, California, company has decided that narrowing in can provide a fix. Chief Executive Marissa Mayer said Tuesday that Yahoo will soon reveal a plan to make sure the company is "more focused" in the future. Finance chief Ken Goldman said Yahoo will look at which products are "strong winners" for the company and "disinvest" in others. The company said it will reveal more within three months.

"We ultimately need to work to improve our relevance to end users and how many times they come to us," Mayer said during a conference call Tuesday. "So we think it's important going into 2016 to get very focused."

The new plan is part of Mayer's attempt to make Yahoo a premier Internet destination again. Once one of the most powerful Internet companies in the world, it has been overshadowed by rivals. Google's Gmail has become the de facto email service on the Web; Netflix is the leading video-streaming service; ESPN is one of the best-known sports brands in the world; and "google," as a verb, is synonymous with search. Meanwhile, Yahoo's pet projects, such as buying cult-favorite sitcom "Community" and two other shows, ended up erasing $42 million from the company's accounts.
