I came across a somewhat old question by TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington: What is Yahoo?<\/a><\/p>\n

For me personally, Yahoo is, first of all, the company that bought most of the web services that I was using – Flickr<\/a>, Delicious<\/a>, and Upcoming<\/a> back in the days when I was using it. \u00a0Secondly, Yahoo for me is a company no here, no there. \u00a0I appreciate how old they are and all. \u00a0But it never seemed to be serving any specific purpose. \u00a0It used to be a bookmark website, which I used for a bit, until it got overly complicated with categories, and SPAM. \u00a0Then it became a web mail and a search engine. \u00a0Then it an instant messaging provider. \u00a0Then a purchaser of some cool web applications. \u00a0Then a web developer resource. \u00a0And then I don’t know anymore.<\/p>\n
