Yahoo, the next Altavista?
 

man... just read today that they are cutting 15 percent of staff and the company is now seen as a risk for investors as its model is outdated and because the alibaba deal really didn't take off
Yahoo was good for me in the 90's early 00's as I used some of the groups to bring traffic, not big conversion like Usenet those days but it was ok
I see Yahoo being taken by other big internet company any time soon, they wll keep it online for a while and then kaput
who would say?

Yahoo might be good if they cut the correct 15% because there seems to be an employee problem at yahoo.

I often click on a news story and get redirected to an unrelated news story.
It seems to be on purpose because the redirects have a pattern.
The pattern always involves a news story about crime.
Overall the pattern is rather fucking ugly.

:2 cents:

yahoo isn't going anywhere in the next decade.

Ahhh, you say that every decade.

:1orglaugh

and I was right too cause if I was wrong it would've been gone :1orglaugh

Most of Yahoo's value currently is because of Alibaba. Yahoo has been wandering in a daze for at least ten years, and its days are probably numbered. I still laugh when I think of Jerry Yang turning down Microsoft's offer of $34/share or whatever it was. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Yahoo owns one very successful site, and thats flickr.

it will be around for awhile i think lots of people still use it.

its not growing tho

Alot of people also use yahoo email.

true! hehehe

they got a dumb social justice warrior feminist for an CEO

what do you expect

Fantasy sports there are good IMO

Yahoo itself can suck.

But its what they own.

I know they have adverts with yahoo mail, and probably on other sites they own.

So they probably make a lot of cash from that.

Chances are they will just buy start ups that are doing well, and build up a portfolio.

That's seems to be the key these days, buy lots of start ups and have them run along side each other.

GeoCities was purchased by Yahoo! for $3.57 billion in stock in 1999 :1orglaugh

GeoCities was not yet profitable (it having declared an $8 million loss for the final quarter of 1998) :thumbsup

:pimp:pimp:pimp:pimp

geocities is where I built my 1st website. Well where I learned how to copy/paste source code for html.

news flash: Yahoo hasn't been relevant ever since Google. For the last 10 years, it may as well have been Alta Vista as far as I'm concerned.

From Internet Porthole to Internet Glory Hole.
