What went wrong for Yahoo

Yahoo let two future trillion-dollar companies get away. One of them twice.

Not all companies will make the right decision. I still have friends using Yahoo for email. :slight_smile:

From what I know, Yahoo is still quite popular in Japan.
But yeah, I remember the good old days when I first started using the internet, Yahoo was more popular than Google back then.

And wow, just reading the word “geocities” brings back so many memories…

One fun yahoo story: in 2017 I couldn’t access one of my older yahoo email addresses and support was non-existent. If I didn’t do anything I’d lose the email and it was very important stuff.

So I tweeted at Marissa Mayer then CEO of Yahoo and stated my plight and next thing you know, I got contacted by Yahoo support, a high level concierge service for VIP members.

I was shocked when I got the email and even surprised when my account was restored without any loss of data or any charge :slight_smile:

Yahoo holds a lot of great memories for me, including emails from 2005 to date. It’s a shame it went out just like that, but every story has an ending..

If you don’t use Yahoo mail, what’s the last time you access Yahoo for?

Yahoo just sticks on their own ways. However, other people do a better job than Yahoo.
