I'm really surprised about Yahoo's market share. I've generally found it a lower quality search than both Bing and Google, and other than this deal I haven't heard anyone talk about it at all. I know a lot of people that have their home page set to MSN by default, but I haven't heard of Yahoo being someone's homepage in years.
What's everyone else's experience with this? Does anyone here use Yahoo, and if so, why?
- michael_dorfman 17y agoI don't use Yahoo search, but my start-page is MyYahoo, and has been for eons. Because of this, a fair bit of the news I read is via Yahoo's aggregators.

- zmimon 17y agoAnyone who uses Yahoo mail gets Yahoo news, sport, weather etc. shoved in their face every time they check their mail. From there people are linked into a network of stuff including search. And Yahoo mail by the way is massive - I can't remember the actual status but they are a multiple of any of their competitors in size and google is a tiny small fraction. I think people underestimate the importance of this just because email isn't seen as sexy these days - but it's eyeballs, and very sticky ones (sorry for image :-) ), they come back regularly again and again - people with lots of history in their Yahoo mail are pretty much never going to leave.
