Re: Yahoo!
Verizon acquiring Yahoo will be the ultimate "death" of Yahoo. Everything happening now is just its transition to selling off its stake in Alibaba and winding down its operations as an independent company. I really have to wonder what motivation any Yahoo employees have right now to do their jobs. They must all be looking for new positions elsewhere.

Re: Yahoo!
@mhhf1ve that's possible. We have to start thinking of have to evaluate nonphysical assets in the context of a digital ecosystem.

Re: Yahoo!
> "Yahoo is essentially a dying company."

Agreed. However, its asssets and traffic are still quite valuable. It's not innovating anymore, but that doesn't mean it can't help some other company build up a nice ad tech business.

Re: Yahoo!
@Michelle with some very memorable commercials! But in truth I only had an account for some community groups and even let that slide a year or two ago.

Re: Yahoo!
It is sad to watch Yahoo fizzle out the way it has. Yahoo was once a promising company.

Re: Yahoo!
My understanding is that quite a few of the data has already been delivered--whether Twitter survives or not is still an open question--but the idea of being simple is ever so fascinating-isn't it?

Re: Yahoo!
@mpouraryan If we knew the answer to that question, we'd know exactly which stocks to buy. Twitter, of course, has more of a history and some more status, I believe. There even was a planned project to archive Tweets in the Library of Congress, though that project appears to have run into a wall. see https://blogs.loc.gov/loc/2013/01/update-on-the-twitter-archive-at-the-library-of-congress/

Re: Yahoo!
@Ariella:  It is still notable--especially as Twitter is becoming the medium of outreach (we use it all the time at the Daily Outsider)--and what blew me away is that Twitter is also adopting elements of Snapchat too--the question is who will stay standing?   

Truly interesting times....

Re: Yahoo!
It is unfortunate and frankly tragic that a company with so much promise is withering away.  There are lessons to be learnt by us all in this regard.
