A lot of people still use a yahoo email. I suppose when they first got their email, it was supposedly better than hotmail (gmail hasn't even come out yet), and they haven't bothered to change since because, really, it's good enough. Yahoo messenger too, I guess. And probably a lot of people have yahoo as their homepage (for some reason...wonder why!) and never bothered to switch it to something else more sensible. That might explain how yahoo.com is still top 5 on Alexa[1].
You actually bring up a great point about the Yahoo's homepage.
I think I remember a while ago that Yahoo's homepage was automatically set when I bought a new laptop....you know the bundleware crap that laptop makers have set when you buy a pc laptop.
I actually really agree with you, I just didn't want to say it so strongly lol!
Am I the only one that believes that in Tech, it's out with the old and in with the new? Or do you believe if it "ain't," broke, don't fix it?
Yahoo as a company could be trying to rebrand it's self though (at least I really hope so)....but then again didn't Research In Motion just rebrand their company as Blackberry (finally)...maybe hope is lost already for Yahoo?????
Do you know anyone who does? Every time I see their name is a headline, I am mildy suprised that they are still relevant at all.
