    Yahoo actually isn't that bad. They've been sending me a lot of traffic recently. I probably can't stop using Yahoo Mail cause I've just been so used to it--but I do have gmail accounts.

    Have not used anything from them except email and search. Their search is completely worthless I cannot find anything with yahoo search. I know when I had bunch of spam and clocked sites yahoo loved them. SPAM = higher yahoo ranking :)

    Either you are trolling or are a very bad searcher. Many other threads on DP and I personally, have seen excellent results in Yahoo in the past few months.

    Then again, you admit you are a spammer and Yahoo probably kicked you out of their SERPs, so you whine here with your smiley face.

    Yahoo's search algorithms seems to be improving lately. You can find more and more relevant information on Yahoo compared to Google who is still shadow boxing with everyone ;)

    Google is much quicker in my opinion and most people use it as their homepage. Plus, now with GMAIL (amazing), no one who actually goes on the internet uses yahoo (except for kids/adults who don't know about gmail).

    I have no problem with Yahoo. Gmail is ok but I use Yahoo!Mail more. I find them easier to use (perhaps it just me)

    You must be new to the internet.
    Check some of the links below in regards to Yahoo:
    http://alexa.com/site/ds/top_sites?ts_mode=global&lang=none
    http://siteanalytics.compete.com/yahoo.com+google.com+msn.com/?metric=uv
    http://www.quantcast.com/top-sites-1



    Also, while I am a Gmail user myself, I have to acknowledge the stuff in the article Yahoo Mail Innovates, Gmail Stagnates

    So does every other mail system in the world. If you know how email traffic works, then you will know there are many reasons why an email may arrive late. Many of the reasons are the same for all systems, esp regarding DNS (MX Record & Availablity) and network paths taken to deliver the email.
