i think Yahoo is a big brand name and its not that easy to establish a brand pull on the net where u have n number of choices. Freebies dont matter what matters is yahoo has been here for so long now so it has a distinct advantage in terms on loyalty and awareness

I checked out the page, and it looks like Yahoo! might have passed it over for not meeting their search content quality guidelines: http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/indexing/indexing-14.html\n\nHowever, if it's a new site, it may still be indexed later after Yahoo! follows a link to it from elsewhere.

Yes, in some cases, people can create a false web page...like a "screen shot" of say, a Citi Bank website, and they will put in a link that will take you to their site where they can obtain all your information.  This is not uncommon, but it is as simple as typing in yaho.com instead of yahoo.com (they buy up close domain names)

It has just the right mixture of content. The search engine is good, I like the news articles, personalized touches like weather, stocks, etc. MSN is virtually nothing but ads or material for teenagers. You have to wade through too much junk to find the meat. Google is still primarily a search engine. Lycos has pretty much expired.

See, I think you are onto something here. I've been trying to figure out what this is all about. Why would Yahoo waste their time, energy, and money on this, when they aren't getting anything out of it? I mean, I would expect to at least see some ads, sponsers, links, etc.\n\nThere is a conspiracy here somewhere...

Everything about the Internet company Yahoo! screams fun – from the name itself to the bright purple colors, to the endless array of online services and distractions. Around the world they are associated with creativity, innovation and the free flow of ideas.\nI think that’s why it is so shocking to learn that Yahoo! has colluded with the repressive Chinese government to help identify Internet dissidents who were subsequently thrown in jail.\nI urge you to join me today by expressing outrage at Yahoo!’s participation in human rights abuses in China.\nThe details are shocking. Investigations by Amnesty International and others show that:\n• At the Chinese government’s request Yahoo! routinely censors search engine results \nin China -- without disclosing that the censorship has happened.\n• Yahoo!-disclosed private user information has allegedly been used to persecute at\nleast three political dissidents in China.\n• In one case, that of journalist Shi Tao, information turned over by Yahoo! was \nsubmitted as evidence in a trial that ended in a 10-year prison sentence. A primary\npiece of evidence was a private email Mr. Shi sent to the United States from\nhis Yahoo! email account.\nWe don’t really know how many voices have been silenced through Yahoo!’s collusion, or how many people have been rounded up. What we do know, and why we need your help, is that Yahoo! cannot hide behind the supposed realpolitik of working in China.\nRecent examinations of four American Internet technology companies operating in China– Yahoo!, Google, Microsoft, and Cisco -- suggest that Yahoo! has most actively aided repressive forces in China, by helping to jail political dissidents.\nNew York Times columnist and consistent voice for human rights Nicholas Kristof concludes “Yahoo! sold its soul and is a national disgrace.”\nYahoo! is not immune to public condemnation. Your demands for change will get the Internet giant’s attention.\nAmnesty demands that Yahoo! use its influence to secure prisoner of conscience Shi Tao's release and to stop any actions that could undermine human rights in any country in which it operates.\nEvery voice makes a difference. Please take action today.\nThanks for all you do.\nSincerely,\nBill Schulz\n\nExecutive Director

I believe Yahoo! removed Y! Drive because it were easy-use tool to share copyrighted medias (with "Public" sharing feature).\n\nBut YDrive had a good tool for personnal use, as a briefcase between its home and office.\n\nI think that better way is not to create new YDrive... Against, Yahoo! could use AJAX into Y! Briefcase to allow drag'n'drop. Or add drag'n'drop target into Messenger to upload files to Y! Briefcase... I study this idea for Y! Messenger Plus ;op

The user-created chat rooms in question, where Internet users converse in real time, had names including “Girls 13 And Under For Older Guys” and “Girls 13 And Up For Much Older Men” and were all listed under “education chat rooms,” Houston television station KPRC reported.\n\n“We are working on improvements to the service to enhance users’ experience and their compliance with our terms of service,” Osako said. “Yahoo condemns the use of Internet tools for illegal activities.”\n\nKPRC reported last month that major advertisers including PepsiCo Inc., Georgia-Pacific Corp. and State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. removed their ads after the station found the ads were appearing on Yahoo user-created chat rooms that were aimed at sex with children.\n\n“As soon as we found out we pulled our ads,” said Pepsi spokesman Dave DeCecco. “We were totally unaware our ads were associated with those chat rooms — and that was back in April.”\n\nPepsi continues to advertise on other parts of Yahoo’s site, mostly in sports and music sections, but pulled all its ads in user-created chat rooms.\n\n“They were down the same day we found out about it,” DeCecco said, referring to the ads on user chat rooms.\n\n“We were horrified to find out we were on those sites,” said Georgia-Pacific spokeswoman Robin Keegan. “As soon as we found out, that day we pulled that advertising.”\n\nA spokesperson for State Farm was not immediately available to comment.

It's not just for Yahoo philippines, it's for Yahoo Asia. I watched the commercial of TV. Don't take it too seriously, if you think about it monkeys are smarter than humans. :-)

You quoted an announcement, and said you "don't like" it, but you haven't said why you don't like it.\n\nEdit...\n\nIf Yahoo! were making money on the service, and saw that that was likely to continue, they would have continued to offer it.  You are free to take your business elsewhere, and pay for those services from someone else.
