article published on 21 February, 2016

According to multiple reports, Yahoo will begin approaching potential buyers as early this week in an effort to sell off its core businesses.

Ouch! Someone smack an editor, so they can turn around and smack the writer... >.<'

I'm not usually overly picky about such things, as long as the message comes across clearly enough, but that headline is a real clunker.

It's sad really. Yahoo! spearheaded much of the internet as it is today.

They used to be my search engine of choice but that was few years ago. Now it's riddled with ADs, fluff and nonsense.

I see it staying open as an email provider only.



R.I.P. Yahoo!
