A few of their sites are about the only value there, delicious, flickr, finance is about all I use there. They lost my on tv long long ago and I can't remember the last time I searched with Yahoo.
- jamongkad 18y agoIn fairness to Yahoo Search I have been hearing some commenters in HN actually saying that it gives better search results than Google. Of course there's this thing called brand awareness...
- gamble 18y agoI'm coming around on Yahoo. They've always seemed a bit ghetto since Google came around, but their results are pretty good these days. If you just avoid going to yahoo.com, the experience isn't any worse than Google. I'd guess, though, that the problem for Yahoo is that their results aren't dramatically better than Google. The bulk of searches are for proper nouns, company names, etc. that both of them serve up perfectly well.
- briansmith 18y agoI don't use Yahoo products because they refuse make up for helping the Chinese government jail dissidents. Their response was basically "It made sense fiancially to destroy these people's lives, and morals don't trump Chinese law, so let's just forget about it, okay?" Google at least makes an effort to ensure they don't fall into the same trap. I won't be sad when Yahoo is gone.
