Oxx Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 According to news reports today, Verizon is to acquire Yahoo!'s Internet business and will merge it with AOL, which they've already bought. What are they trying to do? Start a dinosaur museum? Marissa Mayer [CEO of Yahoo] said in a statement "Yahoo is a company that has changed the world, and will continue to do so through this combination with Verizon and AOL". Oh, please stop! I'm laughing so hard my sides hurt! I wonder whether AltaVista and Geocities are next on Verizon's buy list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhizBang Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Something to do with advertizing. But who really cares? Not me, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsetBkk Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 "Yahoo groups" is a nightmare. Responding to others' posts is a nightmare. Keeping track of who is replying to who is a nightmare. Any link in a post becomes two links in a reply that quotes the link. And then 4 if someone quotes that reply. Ad infinitum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
