They killed off all of the chat rooms on a mid-December as well. In fact, December 14, 2012. Curious. Watching Yahoo wither slowly over the course of so many years is fascinating in a morbid sense. I am told that they had some very interesting technological endeavors, but this was not sufficient to save them, apparently. One clue has been watching their home page and the frantic amounts of "partnering" they've done, to the extent that they pushed much of it even out to the chat clients. That isn't the whole of it, but it does seem to point to a kind of desperation on their part.
