Yahoo bought my favorite task manager, and killed it. Yahoo bought Flickr, and has been slowly killing it for years. Yahoo bought delicious.com, said they were going to kill it, but later sold it. Most of the users that left never came back. Has Yahoo done anything worthwhile in the last 15 years besides disrupt innovation in a bad way?

While we're at it, they also bought and ruined my second favorite Android launcher, Aviate!

In the case of delicious, in all fairness, the whole tagging/folksonomies thing ended up being pretty much a passing fad. (Though I do use pinboard myself and find it useful.)
