I visited Yahoo today to see what all the excitement was about.
Honestly, I never go to Yahoo. I wouldn’t know the new from the old.
The mind boggles that Yahoo is still listed as one of the most highly hit sites. Of course, I believe that as much as I believe Nielsen ratings.
Nonetheless, it was like my own little time machine. Drifting back to the portal days of the mid-to-late 90s. Made me long for AOL.
Rock on, Yahoo. Never give in.
Yahoo 1997 – Before you had to pay hundreds of dollars to get listed… aka the good ‘ol days.
Yahoo 2005 – When being listed didn’t really mean anything.
Yahoo 2009 – When being on Yahoo’s first page of search results amounts to 1/1000th of the Google traffic for the same phrase*
