Yahoo is now 'Altaba', CEO Marissa Mayer stepping down

10 January 2017
This was revealed in a filing by the company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Sort by:

Never put a woman as CEO.

This was the only rival of Google which could have stepped its game to give a competition at least.

      D8Sen, 10 Jan 2017What's next? What about the mail @yahoo.com? I'm registerin... morenothing will happen with it. It will be exactly as usual. It's like when in the early days folks had the googlemail.com domain in the end of their email address. Those addresses still exist, now it's just gmail.com, but similarly, yours will stay as it is

        if you call vegetation being alive..

        yes, it works, yes it's there, but compared to how many % they owned back in their hay days, what it could had been like the others, is not even a shadow of itself

        it's been dead not for years but decades

          This happens when a female takes every top decision for a company, I am sorry guys but during her period as CEO I didn't saw any innovation from yahoo for some time they tried to copy google products but they failed.
          for e.g They bought Aviate launcher and changed everything people loved about that launcher they tried to force various yahoo services and finally no one is interested in it any more.
          Their weather app has not seen changes since many years just like all yahoo app hope this time yahoo will choose a capable CEO.

            Heretic, 10 Jan 2017And now yahoo is dead.No its not. Yahoo is bought by Verizon. Thats it! The same way Lenovo bought Motorola.

              Altaba sounds horrendous but I never really like yahoo, so I don't care.

                      Also Yahoo Search was powered by a small new company called Google and since a lot of people were seeing "Yahoo search is powered by Google" ,They started to go directly to Google which was basically a search engine site at a time were the internet was very slow that opening it was faster than Yahoo with all its stuff (somehow Yahoo made Google famous)
