Ask HN: Is del.icio.us the last remaining yahoo service you were using
With the sunset of delicious, yahoo's reach in my daily life is essentially nil. Is it the same for other people out there?
- itg 16y agoFlickr
- InclinedPlane 16y agoI'm still angry that yahoo bought them. Since then they've let flickr stagnate while the rest of the landscape innovated around them (almost making them obsolete) and they've added the encumbrance of being forced to login with a yahoo account.
- byoung2 16y agoI tried to sign up for Flikr and noticed Yahoo had bought them. Refusing to sign up for a Yahoo account, I now use Picasa for photo storage and sharing.
- dstein 16y agoI haven't used a Yahoo service since the 90's.
- msquared 16y agoI know this doesn't add anything in particular, but I'd like to reinforce your point. Ditto.
- dwc 16y agoI had stopped using del.icio.us a year or two ago. That may have been the only Yahoo! service I had ever used.
- Jun8 16y agoIt's the one I was using on a daily basis. Apart from that I occasionally I also use Flickr and BOSS named entity recognition service.
- bbgm 16y agoDelicious and Flickr.
- GBond 16y agoThey are still best for apps that rely on high content value, thus I still use them for Finance and Fantasy Sports.
- mrphoebs 16y agoI totally forgot flickr, its the site I most visit.
- staunch 16y agoYahoo could completely shutdown and I wouldn't notice until someone told me. Even Flickr.
- cmoylan 16y agoI still have a Yahoo email address that I use whenever I don't want to give away my real email address.
- bmm6o 16y agoMe too. Gmail is for people I trust, yahoo is for when I want the email but don't want the sender to have my "real" address (e.g. hotel/travel confirmations), and hotmail is for when I don't even want the email.
- hasenj 16y agoI still check my yahoo email from time to time, just in case. Yahoo mail could totally shut down and I wouldn't even care.
- gw666 16y agoIt's the only Yahoo service I've used in years, and I use it every day. <sigh>
- iuguy 16y agoI use Yahoo mail for signing up to things. I check it once or twice a year. I have a flickr account but wouldn't notice if it disappeared. I use Yahoo site explorer for SEO tracking though, and that's useful. I also use Delicious more or less daily.
- kgutteridge 16y agoYahoo email that gets checked about once a month, Flickr but sure I could move to picassa its only because of the convenience of iPhoto + flickr Delicious is the only service I used at least every other day
- waterlesscloud 16y agoFlickr, and I still have a group of friends that I communicate with via a private yahoo group.
- jeffepp 16y agoFantasy Football, that's about it.
- khandelwal 16y agoI use the geocoder. It's terms seemed less restrictive than Google's.
