That's what's incredible to me. For me and many others, Yahoo was like a proto-facebook. You could go to Yahoo and spend your whole browsing session there, between checking your email, the news, looking at your friends' Geocities blogs, then playing some Chess over at Yahoo Games. Later on they became one of the bigger names in fantasy football.
It's amazing how quickly they lost it all though, and I can't for the life of me understand it. None of what they did was new, they just did it better (or well enough) and had the marketshare to keep people there.
What happened? And how do you decide that stripping away products people use is the way forward? What's the point of the Yahoo name, if everything that made it Yahoo is gone?
