You'd think after you take down an API you've be furiously checking the server logs for any referrers coming from inside the house.

Half dead company running on fumes. They probably don't even know half of what they run, let alone have staff to check the logs.

"Half dead company running on fumes"

And for good reason. I don't go to yahoo for its clever articles or its mail or its search function ... I go to download currency commodity and stock information.

At least they could have explored offering the million people like me the info for a couple of bucks a month ... 2 million a month is worth looking at.

Instead a cryptic adios ... its brand suicide (or murder seeing how verizon owns them now)

Or they just want to get out of that business.

Yeah, if someone gives a shit. I would say that has not described Yahoo for some time now.
