Marissa Mayer’s kingdom is crumbling around her
- orionblastar 11y agoOdd that Yahoo existed before Google and basically did the same sort of things like Search Engine, Free Web Mail, etc. Yahoo tried to market itself as an entertainment company, when it should have focused on being a technology company. Getting rid of Geocities was a mistake, they should have offered VPS services with it for more money in order to make it profitable. Their web mail require a mobile number now to sign up for an account which locks out poorer users who can't afford a mobile phone. So they just go to Hotmail/Outlook or Gmail instead. So they lost people they could have sold advertising space on. I don't know if it is possible to turn Yahoo around. I figure that sooner or later some other company is going to buy them out.
