Yawho?
I really thought Yahoo! was just a brand now, like Nokia.

- kken 3y agoYou are wrong on both accounts. Nokia had 22B revenue last year. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia
- OJFord 3y agoThey're presumably referring to the brand of phones, which was sold/licensed to HMD Global.
- OJFord 3y agoIsn't it more the opposite, it's the parent umbrella brand owning e.g. Techcrunch. I assume the Yahoo News content is just rebadged from subsidiaries, but I don't know. 184 million of them probably by accident; 180 million of them bouncing at the obnoxious cookie wall.
- ChrisArchitect 3y agoCame to say similar; Anyone else amazed when stories pop up that Yahoo is doing anything/still going? I know it's based on just their large userbase/history and portfolio of services/acquisitions but still... Was even surprised to hear Marissa Mayer was still kickin about recently (https://sunshine.com/introducing-shine/ https://sunshine.com/introducing-shine/)
- nolongerthere 3y agoWow, that’s… an actually useful app, if only I could trust something like that. It’s also the sort of thing that Apple and Google could Sherlock very easily, though they obviously won’t be interoperable. Love the idea tho.

- nolok 3y agoNokia was and is a massive company. Their cellphone operation was an offshot that grew wild, sort of like AWS for amazon (at least until it crashed).
