If feels like a old school guy still energized and struggling a little bit but still like the way the website is.Almost all 90s people know what was yahoo.Some of us may have forgot the name due to the overwhelming popularity of google and its inovtions.
But yahoo didnt maanage that good to make its search enegine that popular as compared to google.Google is more simplefied and more focused on search engine where as yahoo was offering a lot than that including search, you get news and many more.But this made some short of more messy and not very well organized .From very beginning I was using yahoo mail and yes I still do but not that often as I do on gmail.Gmail is more convinent than yahoo mail. Yahoo has its own style of giving their contents to users in many genres like
Search, sports, finance, news, game, style, movies, answer, property and flickr.
Among all this the most popular genre is yahoo answer;which makes me visit yahoo when google lateraly failed to find my solution.Yahoo answer is more reliable and esy to use as you can ask anything and unlimited yahoo users who can answer gonna reply to that if they know the solution and you get direct nswers, you dont have to go for several websites .
The regional yahoo which will show you contents depending upon the region you belong to, for india it has very well designed and organized front page which will give you all the happenings in india or relating to india in just one page. Of course it has dedicated contents just for cricket lovers.
Yahoo finance is very reliable and easy user interface having all the data of sensex, portfolios, and personal finance as well as suggestions. The very popular flicks is a photo sharing site, which allow you to share your pictures on web as well as you can access even lots of pictures.
Worst aspects.
Having so much I one page doesnt makes yahoo more better but a little confusing.
The yahoo mail is not very convinent as compared to its rival gmail.
It doesnt have any online drive options like others do.
The search results are not very reliable.
The website takes time to load as it has too many contents going on in the front page.
Lots of news portal website offers almost the same yahoo does.
Very less products and lack in timely upgrades like google.
Other websites like yahoo are Bing, MSN, Google, AOL.com and for yahoo answers its rival will be the quora.com which is also popular now a days.
Well I would say it can be best as it was one of the top website one day, I visit yahoo regularly as I find it more trustworthy than any source .Though it lacks in many points at this time but its one of the best it company till date.
