Loading ...Although it may be hard for some to believe, Yahoo was actually a big threat for Google, Microsoft, and other Internet companies not too many years ago. In addition to Yahoo Search, many of the company’s properties were looked to for inspiration.
However, as Sage Lewis of SageRock Digital Marketing Agency explained to WebProNews, this “doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.” According to him, successful Internet companies take risks, innovate, and are passionate about what they do.
Yahoo, on the other hand, has undergone a search deal with Microsoft, numerous management changes, layoffs, and has also closed many properties in recent years. Lewis believes that this series of events, among others, led to Yahoo no longer being a “courageous, frontier-leading company.”
I was saying in a reply to a comment on a Yahoo news story today, that Yahoo appears to be committing suicide slowly.
Their ‘news’ section is a joke, causing far more confusion and annoyance among users than any real benefit. If it wasn’t right there in the email I doubt anyone would use it.
They really haven’t done anything useful lately. I’d certainly miss their email but beyond that they just wouldn’t be missed. Even their email isn’t as reliable as it used to be – and zero customer support when it went down for me the other week (and yes, I’m a paying ‘premium’ user)

They have to many ads runing on the front page and it makes thier site load slow. Hate all the pop up sites too.
I still use Altavista (part of Yahoo).
Yahoo is now part of AT&T and unlikely to die
where Yahoo Fails is just for the fact they don’t have anything that separates them from the competition they had that several years ago but seem to loose it in the pas few years
