Yahoo is the only search engine I use. I actually really dislike google. And I don't know of any others tbh. I didn't use it for anything else though.

honestly I never even liked the brand image in general, including the name.
I know Google is just as silly a name as Yahoo, but something about Yahoo isn't nearly as fun or concrete of a word (also makes me think of chocolate milk :P). Thier logo and attempts at rebranding have always fallen so flat too. Somehow, amongst all the modernizing corporate rebrands, Yahoo managed to keep theirs in the 90's with logo that still looks like it belongs on a Nickelodeon show.
Sweet maybe they'll bring back Geocities.

Eat meat. Drink water. Do cardio and burpees. The good life.
Yahoo Finance was the only site I used from that company. It's rather decent for some market watching.
The wise wolf who's pride is her wisdom isn't so sharp as drunk.
yahoo news is just a big pile of advertising shit, 90% of their stories are simply sponsored.. i'm surprised they are valued over 1b.
To bad Yahoo didn't take Microsoft's deal in 2008.
REDMOND, Wash. — Feb. 1, 2008 — Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) today announced that it has made a proposal to the Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO) Board of Directors to acquire all the outstanding shares of Yahoo! common stock for per share consideration of $31 representing a total equity value of approximately $44.6 billion. Microsoft’s proposal would allow the Yahoo! shareholders to elect to receive cash or a fixed number of shares of Microsoft common stock, with the total consideration payable to Yahoo! shareholders consisting of one-half cash and one-half Microsoft common stock. The offer represents a 62 percent premium above the closing price of Yahoo! common stock on Jan. 31, 2008.
Yahoo felt it was massively undervaluing the company at the time.
Got it, 100% understandable there. I guess I just used yahoo as a tool, just like myspace/facebook/etc - I appreciate the info, and I agree with you big time.
I think it's still workable, but yeah it wasn't what it originally was before Google search, etc. I know they also combined searches with BING awhile back, so you get basically the same search whether you choose bing or yahoo.
Sounds like an Ipad issue. All I've ever used is Yahoo mail, and I've had adblock installed for years and never once ran into this.
Edit: Tried to go through and change the important stuff tied to my old yahoo to my gmail, half the crap (including my wow email, ugh) won't change for whatever reason.
Yeah, I remember seeing those articles last year. I've never run into the issue and actually thought the issues had been resolved. On my Yahoomail login screen there are absolutely zero adverts and I never made any special modifications to adblock. Windows 7 user with Firefox.
Oh boy. Some of my older email accounts are Yahoo accounts. They'll continue to be okay to use, right?
I can't believe anyone would buy yahoo for that much. What can you possibly do with it when Google is not only dominating the market and is innovating so much.
