RIP Yahoo.
Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, co-founder David Filo and others plan to resign from the company's board when it completes its $4.8 billion sale to Verizon.

Mayer, Filo and board chairman Maynard Webb and three others are departing. It is unclear, however, if Mayer will remain in some capacity.

Eric Brandt, a new member of Yahoo's 11-member board, was named chairman immediately.

In a Securities and Exchange Commission filed late today, Yahoo said the resignations are "not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices."

The filing also said the company would be renamed Altaba after the Verizon deal closes.

Man, I remember a time when all these other search engines existed to help me find thumbnail galleries of my favorite pornstars.

Lycos, Excite, AltaVista...

I was 11 or 12 at the time. Had to start my perversion at an early age.
 
Like IE, it's gone to the giant recycle bin in the sky.....

Sad what they did to Gopher.


FWIW, the worst search engine was Askjeeves. British tech at it's finest. The worst internet company was boo.com. They burned through $100m to make a website that wouldn't load and all did was allow you to order a t-shirt.

Best dot.com blow up website was fuckedcompany.com. Hours of lulz were had.

AskJeeves was shit. Rubbish. P.G. Wodehouse would be rolling in his grave if he found out how terrible that POS search engine was.
 
shit I still have a couple yahoo emails that I use from time to time for shit I dont want on my personal email
 
I still have a yahoo account with such an easy password that my account is probably used by other people as well as myself from time to time.
 
Still use Yahoo to this day. I have to say that the quality of the main page is shit now. Too much of "guess what this random untalented skank wore last night or said on twitter", or "I sleep with married men, not only am I not ashamed I'm empowered." Half the articles read like a 13 year old's blog with poor spelling and with most of the article just made up of random tweets.
