Another Yahoo! Service to close soon

This time it's Yahoo! Go a Yahoo! Services apps for cellphone
http://www.larkins.org/news/yahoo-go-to-close-down.html

It was a cool service easy to use. And now they close it and expect us to use a really crappy mobile web page.

Remember Geocities? It was a part of Internets heritage. I made my first web pages on them and now they are all gone. Idiots. I can't say it enough guys at Yahoo! are idiots. Yahoo! would have done so many things with Geocities. When I heard Yahoo! put an end to Geocities I really wondered if someone would have bought Yahoo! immediately.

I don't get it why Yahoo! can't atleast sell the services it doesn't want. Are they too proud to do so??

 

Well, I have the same point of view that you.
Sad but true, most of the yahoo services are gonna dissapear soon IMHO

 

That's cool services of yahoo. Anyway, let's wait if that will happen.

 

I think it won't be closed because i have no information about it on yahoo news

 

May be they will revive it when time is favorable once again. But a cell phone app in the market with things like iphone, smart phone and blackberry, palm pre, treo, nokia Nx tablets, android, etc. has little market share, thats why they are doing this, to cut down on unnecessary resources and the deploy of the resources in profitable areas. I think its called lean management.

 

sad to say that a lot of yahoo services are slowly disappearing..they should act on this..

 

sad to know about this!!!!!!

 

we can tell very easily abt those services. but if they not making enough money they simply close after all it’s business.

 

Come on Geocities had lot of chances of making money, they just had to be creative.

I am sure there would be some way to make money in everything Why not Yahoo! Go too.

If you are a Yahoo! Go user, you get a notification in email.

 

I use to surf the mobile version of yahoo and chat on mobile YIM with my friends.

 

Geocities had a lot of potential.

 

I wonder when yahoo.com will be next.

 

Yahoo can't really sell their site to anyone. Most web entrepreneurs when they make site hope that some day it'll be bought by one of the internet giants like google or yahoo or aol etc. Those companies leverage their infrastructure and business contacts to derive profits out of the sites they buy (other than the sites that are bought only to keep the competition out). But, if Yahoo is unable to make a site profitable and probably they don't expect it to be profitable within a reasonable time frame, I think there are very few other companies that can. There could be a few (maybe google or microsoft) that might be able to derive some value out of a particular site but, I guess yahoo would rather not give them the competitive advantage for the sake of a few million bucks. So, shutting the site down till they see better profit potential is a sensible choice I think.

 

yahoo dispose there services they started yahoo briefcase (storage) and closed any many other services but we don't know because they were not common
so you to behave like they behaving with you
i use my mail inbox for storage and upload after ziped
i use yahoo answers for traffic

 

Well, its not easy to compete with giants like google..sad but true.

 

Everyone working for money,
and if any part of website not giving profit then who want to run. think yourself

 

just wondering it has something to do with yahoo microsoft deal?
and btw, It seems that yahoo is opening new services as well

what do you think guys?

 

Yahoo! might be trimming down some services that has high cost but low revenue such as the Yahoo! Geocities services. They were not able to earn from it.

 

it has something to do with their new CEO from autodesk, though geocities is really valuable their new CEO was able to put Yahoo back to its feet again reporting a growth this quarter.
