Interesting that it's still considered such a popular brand. Although I know the brand I haven't typed 'yahoo' in the address bar or a search engine for years.

Interesting that it's still considered such a popular brand. Although I know the brand I haven't typed 'yahoo' in the address bar or a search engine for years. I actually think this was the first time I wrote it anywhere for years, except in peoples' email. I don't think anyone I know have either. Never hear any mentioning of it except in tech circles like here. Do people really go there?
- habosa 11y agoIn some countries (Japan is the biggest) Yahoo is still dominant on the web.
- astrange 11y agoYahoo Japan is run by its own company these days, so Yahoo buyers are only getting a minority stake in it. Among other things they have the best map data and the largest auction site.
- gdulli 11y agoKind of hubristic to extrapolate your own experience to the whole world and kind of provincial to extrapolate just the people in your direct experience to the whole world.
- flexie 11y agoKind of a lot to conclude from my questions and kind of a wrong use of the words hubristic and provincial.
- henrikschroder 11y agoIf only there was a way to find out if people go there... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_popular_websites https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_popular_websites Sorry for being snarky, but seriously, not knowing that Yahoo is a top 5 destination is embarrassing if you work in the web business.
