Google much like Facebook stuck with a simple website which means faster on pretty any kind of device which was connected to the internet and as the raise of mobile devices this is very important, whereby Yahoo kept changing, much like Ask, Lycos and many other sites, which they added more and more in their sites in comparison.

But just like AOL and MySpace did, they rested on their laurels and kept thinking in normal industry and retail standards. You have a YEAR buffer, maybe two years if you are lucky, before a hungry company can catch up with you and surpass you. Comcast cable and AT&T DSL overtook AOL, Facebook killed MySpace, and Google aborted Yahoo. That's what happens when you are stagnant and unwilling to change.

Mayer took Flickr and destroyed it. I'm a photographer and Flickr was a great community. Four years ago Yahoo made major changes to Flickr which completely ignored what the community wants. The attitude towards users was arrogant and dismissive. Mayer had the gaul to statw that 'there is no such thing as a professional photographer'. All Yahoo had to do was listen to what everyone wanted and provide it. It really was that simple, but they always thought that they knew better. They got what they deserve and I'm delighted to see the demise of Mayer!

My favorite part of yahoo used to be their chat rooms. Back in 2000 to 2008..its was a great alternative to AOL chatrooms mainly because you couldn't get reported and banned for hurting someone's Internet feelings. Only downside was the script kiddies booting the whole room. Chat rooms were pretty fun.

I've had a Yahoo email address since 1998 and used the chat rooms for years until the bots completely took over. Some time in the early 2000s Yahoo flat out said they didn't care to maintain the service anymore no matter how popular they still were and shut it down in 2007. I still have the email address, but only use it for things that I'm sure will generate spam.

I've been a Yahoo user since 1997. I went to them for web email. This was before gMail. The downfall of Yahoo was Yahoo Maps. Yahoo Maps was originally comparable to Google Maps. Then Yahoo came out with a fancy new release of Maps. But this required fast internet at a time when many users were still using dial up. The new Maps failed. Yahoo went back to its earlier version of Maps but it was too late. Most users simply went over to Google Maps. It case you didn't realize it, maps is actually the center jewel of a web portal. With maps comes search and locate. The big revenue comes from selling advertising associated with maps. For example, seeing all the McDonald's icons pop up for a given location. Or all the pizza restaurants in an area. Maps is like the Yellow Pages of the phone book days. Yellow Pages were pure advertising revenue for the phone companies. After Yahoo cancelled its maps program, it later cancelled its travel program. There were other cancellations too. These programs fell like dominos. I believe most of this traffic went over to Google as well.

I still use yahoo email today from what I remember, I've been using since late 2002.

I can tell you what happened to Yahoo without even watching this. I and many others used to love Yahoo, especially the chat rooms. And then they stopped caring. The place was overrun by bots. IT WAS INSANE. You just couldn't get rid of them. One day in the late 2000's there was a bot in the chatroom complaining about the bots. "ugh, so many bots in here! 19/f" - It was at that point I realized Yahoo just stopped caring. I realized they didn't care to streamline their email service - as Google was fast and not so damn cluttered. Yahoo wanted to be a mess for some reason, and I will never understand why. Myspace did this too. To this day both websites are a cluttered disaster. With Yahoo being a cesspool of clutter and a gigantic ad taking up the entire page on entry (as of today, 2/5) and Myspace being a complete clusterfuck of BS music, music, and more music. Myspace decided there was nothing in the social media world and no money to be made apparently. Both of these sites decided to be messy for some reason and not care about what the users actually wanted. I will never understand. Yahoo made itself into a complete travesty especially. They had YAHOO CHAT - Where people could video call. Imagine if they utilized the millions of users instead of allowing skype to take over? But no, they decided to keep the quality of webcam access minimal. Even on a fast connection in 2007, they did not always allow the "super webcam" option and although I and my friend had very fast internet and new webcams, the image quality looked like it was taken on a 56k modem still, then beamed to antarctica during an earthquake while a mad scientist quickly and hastily breaks down the code and writes it on floppy disks, then uploads to a commodore 64 and sends the images to a hut in nigeria during a meteor strike, where it is converted to smoke signal back to the united states and an indian that speaks spanish converts it to binary again and uploads to the internet on 14.4k, where its downloaded outside in a blizzard in milwaukee, filmed on VHS, sent by mule to the yahoo HQ server, where a bot that has taken over part of the company uses photoshop 6 from 2002 to blur the image, then sends it to a 1st grade classroom where children draw the images by hand and then scan it into an old macintosh that can barely play oregon trail, using a scanner from 1994, then each frame printed on dot matrix and sold to a nigerian scammer as where he promises a large sum of money for it - and then he sells the images to a museum claming they are rare paintings, which are confiscated by INTERPOL and sent back to the US by a pidgeon during a hurricane, to the CIA headquarters where it is again split into multiple files, blurred, reimaged and reprinted by dot matrix, filmed onto BETAMAX, then sent to the end user after being printed on dot matrix again and then they must upload it to their computer, but only after they click on the ads the bots were able to sneak into the code, and only if they could stop getting booted by other users that downloaded free software anywhere online to mess with them because yahoo had no security either. Yahoo was FUCKED.

CF, that ending was simply the best! You would think that Yahoo! would have developed a group to correct spelling and grammar for topic issues, instead of letting all those posters continue such grammatical mistakes. Just like a resume, any spelling mistake or poor grammar on your website or posting proves that no one will take you seriously. By the way, I would like to order a tasty Pregante dinner! With parsley, bread sticks, and just a touch of oregano. Also a bottle of Napa Valley red merlot, please!

@@GrzegorzDurda I was cleaning mine and it went off.

my first yahoo email is locked because i can't remember the security question (which i submitted in my middle school) i do remember the password and logged in regularly, then the maintenance happen and you must answer the security question long decade email just disappear, try to contact customer service, robot answered. yep... google then.

Yahoo messenger and it's chat room was my favorite it opened a whole new way of connecting people across globe, it also helped me get my first blind date back in 2004 when I was merely 17. They failed because they didn't innovate with time. I still remember as I was called for giving feedback on their mobile website at their office in Mumbai while using my Nokia 3230 it was some wonderful time nostalgic 😌

Hey ColdFusion, 5:48 Microsoft offers 44.6billion dollars 6:28 Verizon buys yahoo for 4.8billion dollars After that you say "that's about 1% of what microsoft would have paid" but that is around 10%, not 1%, am I missing something?

I think it's somewhat unfair to call Marissa Mayer a bad CEO as she inherited a company which was already in shambles when she arrived. It's rather the lack of strategic focus of the board and the history of the company that signified the dawnfall of Yahoo.

She didn't want to run a tech company. She cut her teeth working on development and had a degree in CS but it's pretty clear she wasn't a techie at heart and didn't have great business sense about the direction of tech. She did a masters in CS, but it was in a wonky mathematically area of CS that suited what she was doing a Google but probably not so well suited to managing a company. The stories that came out about her egotistical way of working with subordinates are pretty "bad" in my opinion.

I worked at a boutique hotel in Vancouver during the Olympics in 2010. Yahoo! staff and executives stayed during the games as the hotel was near the exhibition space they were using. After the games they prepared small gift bags for all the hotel staff that had a bunch of promotional items, chocolates and candies. It was a really thoughtful gesture!

Thanks for the memories. I remember Yahoo in '96. The categories were very helpful. But I remember thinking "what will happen when this internet thing gets any bigger? It'll become too hard to neatly categorize each website." I also remember when Yahoo's homepage became gossipy trash.

I dont know why but there is sad trend of giant companies-ish hiring CEOs to turn things around but then still end up flopping. Does anyone know names of CEOs or notable leaders that turned companies around to the right direction right before the company entered a sort of crisis or was experiencing a crisis. My example would be Steve Jobs, how about others?
