OK, of what value is Yahoo? I mean I'm an IT pro for 30+ years, but have never had a use to even access Yahoo except when a story like this leads me there.
What is their business model? They appear to be ultra left, so I'm looking for a way to cause them pain.

Yahoo! was one of the original "portals," i.e., web sites that competed to be selected by surfers as their Home Page. The first portal was Netscape, associated with the first browser.

It was a smart business model, and they have grown from their. The hard leftist twist in their news reporting is a more recent development, and some of it may simply be due to the fact that they reproduce wire service stories, and they are all getting further and further to the left.

Yahoo has great webmail I use a lot. They recently went to 100MB of storage for free. But I'll probably switch to Gmail when available.
