There’s a reason why *I* don’t use Yahoo. And to put it bluntly, it’s because they’re always “trying to survive”.
I today’s market, the user doesn’t care about the interests of a big corporation like Yahoo. If their interests don’t align with the costumer’s, then they will DIE. It’s that simple. Just look at Google, or Apple… Or even Microsoft.
I want to search. Google shows me a search field and little else. Yahoo delivers the freaking bible. Just one example.
