I've never paid much attention to Yahoo!. It might be that cheesy logo just made me discount their seriousness when they started. Like when the print Wired was first out, they had different text colors and fonts, sometimes in the same paragraph.

I think Yahoo's business has been to be the internet, but they never noticed that other companies and services took that all away from them piece by piece. Now they're just a stock.

The most valuable part of yahoo to me is groups.yahoo.com. It's works somewhat like USENET, but includes a group-specific files section. There are some groups with information which exists nowhere else.

It sucks that this is locked into yahoo, but I'm sure it was the most convenient option at the time.
