This week, Carol Bartz was fired as CEO of Yahoo! via phone call. That's messed up! Well, it's probably because she's a scary lady who swears a lot! Oh, Yahoo. In 2000, your stock closed at $118.75 a share. Right now? $12.91 a share. It all started out with a website directory named "David and Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web". In 1995, this site became "Yahoo!" Yahoo search was a pioneer, the first of its kind. It was ok but rather slow. Google blew them out of the water. Before Gmail took off, Yahoo! email was #1 but it was full of spam! Now, people use their Yahoo account to sign up for services, so the spam will go there purposely. Remember Yahoo 360? Me either. That was their attempt at a social networking site. If you prefer a small, intimate audience, you can post on Yahoo video. Seems like they tried, but not hard enough! Three years ago, Microsoft tried to buy Yahoo! for $44.6 billion. Yahoo! said, "No! You guys don't value us!" They're eating their words now, I think! If Yahoo! follows the fate of certain other websites, it will never shut down, but hang on forever.
