The dream is over

America's favorite portal, owner of Tumblr and developer of Firefox's 6th most popular extension (source: addons.mozilla.org/extensions/?sort=users) just sent me an email telling me they're being purchased by Verizon.

who the fuck uses yahoo or tumblr?

Your mother and SJWs.

yahoo should have disappeared in 2007

they haven't been relevant since like 2002

The lady ceo was a fucking retard

some good porn on tumblr

Senile people and the mentally ill

yahoo never had a good product.

all it was was a human edited link directory.

they never had a web crawler, they were never a real search engine.

i fucking hate yahoo, and have never used their shit and i've been on the internet since 1995

How old are you?

Yeah I never used them either. Even when they had the Superbowl cat commercial, they were never first or even second rate search engine

I don't even know what words to use to describe the level of apathy I and everyone else feels. This is literally nothing in any regard, yahoo's death means nothing, Verizon acquiring them means nothing, tumblr may as well not even exist. Nothing is nothing is nothing.

I do physically admire Marissa though.

Tumblr has great amateur fetish porn

What does Verizon want with them?

Everybody knows what Yahoo is. That alone is a powerful thing. Suppose Verizon makes it into it's own google(news, mail, search), using the platform Yahoo already has it's definitely possible but wohld require lots of renovation to search and mail.

I work at yahoo.

AMA

>failed an interview at Yahoo last summer and went to Google instead
Wew dodged a bullet there.

Yahoo is finally fucking dead? i can celebrate or what will happen now? tell me

So did we :)

how has the company survived this long when its been completely irrelevant for 15 years and subpar when it was relevant for the 5 years prior?

It's only irrelevant to your demographic.

Who?

so it's irrelevant to the only demographic that actually matters in web development

and people wonder why it failed

>failed
>made a great investment in Alibaba
>Investment grows to be larger than Yahoo
>wanted to detach itself from the investment without incurring huge Jewish taxes

More emails to hand over to the NSA

My father is still using his Yahoo email since like 2003

Why is Geocities only available in Japan these days?

Yahoo Japan spun off into its own company. We own a ton of their shares but they do their own thing

yahoo answers was addictive, then they decided to remove the delete function for threads and other stuff that was fun to have, they added some pseudo-anonymous feature, that was useless as shit since you couldn't set your questions anonymous before posting them, you had to post the question first then open the question page and click on your profile pic to set anonymous, meanwhile in the time you did that everyone was able to see your name, I hope whoever came up with that feature got fired and raped to death by a pack of refugees for being a useless piece of shit.

What exactly do they do?

and even looks like they do better

No one touches answers anymore. We just don't care.

Dunno. Different company.

My e-mail account is on yahoo.com , how fucked am I?

I have a private Tumblr blog where I store all my porn.

>Yahoo! Japan's web portal is the most visited website in Japan
must be advertising then

you clearly didn't use the internet in the 90s

Security here is pretty much anyone does anymore because of the hacks. You should be fine

yahoo pipes

Fucking this.
How long until verizon axes it?

>inb4 version charges everyone a $20 per month "smart computer access fee"

I really hope they ax their aabaco hosting. Shit is impossible to change DNS or fucking do anything, they want to keep their users under the impression you can't move their site so they just keep paying for their shitty hosting.

Literally every person I've ever dealt with that still uses yahoo for hosting literally out-luddites everyone else, they are USED to the ads in their yahoo mail, they are USED to their shitty 2001 php "CMS" features and just act like wordpress, css, and $10/mo hosts don't exist

that's why my yahoo att account doesn't even have the option for 2FA, right?

>porn

and a lot of fetish and porn blogs.

Not even niggers use Yahoo.

So...

Verizon*

Because they appeal to the absolute lowest common denominator who doesn't know how to change their default homepage.

i clearly did because I know that yahoo was never a search engine.

it was a link directory, you'd submit your website to it, and it'd take 3 months for a human to actually review it and reject/accept it based on whatever he liked your site.

altavista was the only actual search engine before google

>altavista was the only actual search engine before google

The real question is WHO will archive all of Yahoo Answers?

prove me wrong faggot

the japanese

>a woman killed America's favorite portal, owner of Tumblr and developer of Firefox's 6th most popular extension
Sasuga cunts.

Hopefully Yahoo makes verizon bankrupt

Not him
>what is askjeeves
>what is dogpile

So, who are they going to sell Yahoo too once they realize people visit it only out of habit?

I still use yahoo email. What should I switch to? Is there an effective way to update all of my contacts of my move?

The CEOs of Yahoo are of a special kind

Terry Semel
> wanted to buy Google, didn't agree to the price firstly, then agreed but got outjewed
> tried to buy facebook and youtube
> was actually decent but not jewish enough

Jerry Yang
>didn't accept a $45bn offer from Microsoft

Carol Bartz
>revenue declined
>got fired over the phone

Tim Morse
>interim
>got fired by Marissa Mayer later

Scott Thompson
>lied on his resume
>got fired

Ross Levinshon
>interim
>left because of Marissa Mayer

Marissa Mayer
>lel

Geocities
Yahoo mail
Yahooligans

Would've been good if they did something with that. Instead they let it slide. Gmail essentially killed Yahoo mail. I know I switched it within the first years of Gmail. Geocities would've been decent if they didn't let it stagnate and upgraded their services.

>please user-kun, put a baby in my belly. I'm so lonely and I need to feel loved.

trash.

>Jerry Yang
>>didn't accept a $45bn offer from Microsoft

WHY

> yahoo

They do the same shit, except they actually know how to run a business and make money.

not him but yahoo auctions is what nips use instead of ebay

this is key to getting rare vidya from gorrious nippon, but you cant let the buyers know that you are gaijin

He invested in Alibaba instead. A much smarter purchase

I have just visited their homepage for the first time in many years.
Holy clickbait fest Batman!
