A lot of non-technical older users still use Yahoo properties. My mom still uses Yahoo Mail, and Yahoo.com is her homepage (by choice).

I don't know how to quantify what that's worth, but I can't imagine it's nothing.

At least in Eastern Europe, most developers in the 90's used yahoo (mail + messenger) and a lot of them still do, even though not exclusively anymore.
