Yahoo has some good stuff, but their brand-name is just so, so toxic now.
I hope that if the deal goes through (and I'm sure it will), Verizon will still keep the better Yahoo services running.
- ocdtrekkie 10y agoI have to imagine if they do buy it, they'll strip it for parts. They already have AOL, which has a dated name, but not one now synonymous with horrible security. And with the redundant properties between AOL and Yahoo, I can't fathom them not wanting to consolidate those, probably into a new brand entirely. Between AOL and Yahoo (and their own Verizon email addresses where they're an ISP), they'd have a huge portion of the world's email accounts, and I could see a push to pull an Outlook.com: Move everyone to a new service, but keep all the old legacy email addresses from older services.
