I don't understand why Yahoo still exists (or at least why it still gets so much coverage). At this point it's just a cheap knockoff of everything google does.

I don't understand why Yahoo still exists (or at least why it still gets so much coverage). At this point it's just a cheap knockoff of everything google does. Has anyone ever used Yahoo mail? It's a POS, it's bloated, slow, prone to failure - and it doesn't even work on linux. Same thing for yahoo maps, news, search, etc. I just don't get it.

I don't get why investment banks exists. I don't get why casinos exist. I don't get why cigarette companies exist. I don't get why Fannie Mae exists.

  Yeah! Like seriously, why do humans exist? We're slow, bloated, prone to failure, and to top it all off we don't even work on Linux!

In terms of usage, Hotmail is #1, Yahoo! Mail is #2, and Gmail is #3.

It can take a long time for large companies to die.
