Google will have "a problem" if it does not diversify its business, the head of Yahoo has told BBC News.
Carol Bartz said that Google would have to "do a lot more than search" and suggested that it would have to "grow a company the size of Yahoo every year".

Ms Bartz also said that the firm could also hold its own against Facebook, the current poster child of the web.
She described the site, which has more than 400 million users and has stated that its ambition is to be at the heart of the "social web", as a "frenemy".
"They certainly are taking people's attention and time," she said. "But what is kind of wrong about the conversation is that social just means Facebook.
"Social is interaction. Social is commenting on news stories. It's blogging. It's sharing photos.
"So there are social capabilities running throughout all of our sites, including Twitter feeds and Facebook feeds."
