Yahoo Anwsers R.I.P.
People often complain about the Google black hole, but Yahoo! is often no better. I had a Yahoo! account long before I moved to Google. I have also enjoyed Yahoo! Answers over the years and answered many questions.
However, today I learned that my account has been suspended. More than that, I viewed a selection of “Best Answers” I had given in the past and not only had my answers been removed in all cases but in many cases the question was removed too.
Seems Yahoo! is having a massive tidy up on Yahoo! Answers.
The only service I still use if the Yahoo! Directory. I still pay them $300 a year to list my business. But if they keep fannying around with their services, closing things down (I lost all my Delicious bookmarks because I missed a few emails from them) then I see little point in investing my money into Yahoo!
God only knows what they are playing at over at Yahoo! (well, Hhe doesn’t because he does not exist!).
Oh well. Sorry, this blog was a little short. Google will not like that. Oh well. Sorry again.
Altavista, Netscape, Yahoo. All dead.
What does Yahoo! actually do now? Apart from close down parts of their business? I wonder how long it will be before they delete all my Flickr photos? Best see if I can download them.
