What Happened to Yahoo?
I mean besides being a bunch of mindless liberals spewing fake news on their blog these days.
Yahoo used to be an amazing internet super power that had super creative ideas and offered pioneering technology and cutting edge free scripts to it's members.
Let's see, they had Yahoo mail, Yahoo Messenger, one of the first and best most popular voice and text chat services. Yahoo Groups, which were probably one of the first group platforms on the internet that even Facebook seemed to copy of of them and are still using today with much more addons and improvements, but most of the great things that we use every day on the Internet were offered for free by Yahoo at one time or another. Of course they offered more services than I mentioned, but those three come to mind as I used them quite a lot back in those early days of the internet.
So what exactly happened to them? Why did they just seem to give up without a fight and let everybody rip off their great ideas? Yahoo is a mere shadow of itself these days compared to it's days of glory!
What were some of your favorite Yahoo scripts and services?

I can tell you what happened. In 2009 one of the original co-founders of Yahoo! left. That's when Yahoo! really got in bed with companies like Microsoft and Google, as well as having numerous CEOs but no single, consistent directional vision.

I like the old Yahoo because they had Yahoo Messenger I talk to my friends on it a lot , Enjoyed playing the Yahoo Games and They had GeoCities on it I run a Transformers site and my personal site on it because it was free plus they had a page builder on it.
Now these days its kinda a dead site to us I mean by they don't have the stuffs that they used to have. Now its full of B.S News on the front page.
I still use yahoo for only one thing is Yahoo Mail if they get rid of it I won't be coming back to yahoo then!

It's the only decent free product that they offer anymore. They really dropped the ball! I don't understand why they aren't developing new products for their brand these days?
