Talk about stealing ideas: AOL rips off Yahoo

• pg 19y ago
  Only AOL would rip off a company with no revenue growth.

    No revenue growth but they still have a lot of innovation going on there, with yahoo pipes, yahoo dev network, Hadoop etc. It's a shame such a good tech company is run my media folks.

  This is a perfect example of how big companies that rely on design-by-committe are incapable of doing original, creative work. But I doubt they will lose any subscribers because of this!

  I'm speechless.

  When did Yahoo redesign their webpage? Before today I haven't checked out yahoo.com in years. It used to be my home page before google came along.

    Thank you. I visit Yahoo! many times a day, but I type in mail.yahoo.com directly and was about to post the same thing. I thought, "is that what Yahoo.com looks like?"

      My only interaction with them is through yahoo games. I have moved from yahoo mail to gmail a few month after it was released (it took me a while because invitations were still a bit difficult to get). So when is google going to make online chess without the annoying banner ads that yahoo plasters all over the damn thing?

  Are you sure that AOL didn't contract to license it from Yahoo! and rebrand it?
