I'm writing an article about this... Questions to anybody that knows:
1. it looks like this was just a CSV download. Was any form of authentication (even just a Yahoo login) required to download the CSV? I'm just trying to figure out how, if Yahoo actually thought of issuing a warning, it would have known who to send it too or how to get news of the shutdown circulated to the right people.
2. If it was a CSV download, how up to date was the data?
3. Does anybody have a sample URI for a filtered version of this CSV request. For example, just two symbols?
