Note to Yahoo.. there was this company Viaweb you purchased like 15 years ago, oh wait never mind I'm sure you remember.

  The sad thing is that they might not remember. A new product manager at Yahoo! might be 22 - 24 years old, and that means they were under 10 in 1999. And Yahoo! has undergone a lot of churn over the years and staff turnover. It is entirely possible that much of the history has been lost. While its clear from the announcement[1] that they do recall they had something called Yahoo! Stores before, I'm wondering if they really remember what worked and what didn't work from their previous version. Sort of all new and all of the issues from previous versions fixed. Or is it just all new look but we didn't do anything about the issues.
