What is the best thing you can count about yahoo?

About the only thing I use Yahoo! for nowadays is TV listings, and that's only because I know the url off the top of my head, and can't be bothered finding anything more personalised.

When I first went online, about 1995, Yahoo would have been the best, indisputably. But nowadays? Not a chance. Google offer a better search engine and email service nowadays. AIM and MSN offer a better IM client (I use Trillian personally, which connects to them all, but nevertheless). Even Yahoo Answers has fallen off my regulars list in favour of this place.

Don't confine yourself to one corporate service. That's exactly what they want you to do, and you're missing a whole bunch of the Internet by doing so.

I agree with Wolfechu, When I started using the internet in 1998, I find yahoo the best among other sites, I used most of their services, mail, IM, photos and when I learned basic web designing, I posted my web pages in geocities. But years had passed and many great sites offered the same services, I tried them as well and I find that they are offering services better than yahoo, now I'm using gmail because of their office document feature. I used mylot instead of yahoo chatrooms because joining discussions here is rewarding since mylot is paying us for our participation, I even use other free web hosting sites because they offer powerful tools and more disk space and the more traffic you create will bring you more profit while my sites in geocities stops and will post a server error each time I reach a traffic limit. The only thing that holds me to continue use yahoo are my friends who doesnt want to explore and expand their network, but some of them are here with me in mylot and are also expanding their horizon:)Cheers! Happy Posting!!
