Started by webomatica · 12 months ago

The whole Yahoo! thing has gone on so long, it’s difficult to keep track of what’s transpired, and I’m now wondering why I should care.

    Yeah, you got it. My sympathy has waned, too, especially as some of the really smart people have left (at least, the ones I read online).

    I hope the really good projects don't die - my eyes are on Delicious, Flickr, and Pipes. If Microsoft, AOL, or some other company kills them off, even inadvertently, it would be a real shame.
