Have you ever used Yahoo?

Verizon to offload Yahoo, AOL for $5 billion Geez, even Yahoo sounds down on Yahoo! >_> (Granted, it looks like they just shared a Reuters story) Verizon Communications Inc is getting rid of its media businesses that include iconic brands Yahoo and AOL for $5 billion, ending an expensive and unsuccessful run in the media and advertising world. Geez, if only somebody could have warned them that Yahoo would lose money >_> And people will best remember Yahoo for its email service, which is probably responsible for hosting 70% of all email scams and previously made headlines over its database repeatedly being compromised (see: "Latest Yahoo data breach is rated 'E' for everyone") Considering how few people still use Yahoo, the impact from any sale should be minor. --- (/)(/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ...

I still use my Yahoo email, but in a "I don't want to give you my real email address, so have this instead" way.
Honestly though, I am amazed Yahoo is still around given that all of the other sites they used to compete with in the 90's (Hotmail, Lycos, Mail.com, AOL Mail) have all long since disappeared. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job! But I still don't know what to put here so...yea... ... Copied to Clipboard!

I had used ymail as a back-up or for spam up until they started deleted accounts if you were inactive for a year, which resulted for some pretty much data loss for me at one point. Plus it doesn't feel like there's a lot of point in using ymail for a throwaway account, when I can just make another gmail, outlook, etc.
I still need to disassociate some of my stuff with old ymail addresses. --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I still use Yahoo for email, it was my first non-student account and I just have too much stuff tied to it.
I used AOL Instant Messenger up until the day Verizon killed it, and mourned its loss. And of course Verizon also ruined Tumblr and infamously cratered its valuation as a result. So good to know that swath of destruction by Verizon all had a purpose for the long term. Makes it all worth it. How silly of me to ever question my corporate masters in the face of this rousing success. ... Copied to Clipboard!
