Yahoo runs many services that have traffic that most start-ups here would die for. Number one finance site,number one news site, huge fantasy sports, Flickr, Delicious, significant search traffic. People on HN tend to dismiss them but we are indeed talking one of the most trafficked websites on Earth. I would say there is more value having a Yahoo ID than most other sites due to how much they offer.

- kevincrane 13y agoIt's not popular but I think Yahoo Mail is way better than a lot of people give it credit for as well.
- mattmanser 13y agoA brief bit of googling shows Yahoo mail has similar numbers of users as Hotmail and Gmail, somewhere between 200-400 millionish, hard numbers aren't often announced. So it's popular, though has lost it's top spot.

- kevincrane 13y agoOh right, I guess meant "not trendy". I know it's pretty widely-used, but it unfortunately and unfairly tends to elicit the same response as when someone tells you they use AOL for their internet.
