I wonder what people mainly do on Yahoo. I mainly just use it for Yahoo mail and Yahoo Answers these days, but nothing more since they shut down Geocities.

Yahoo has been unpopular lately. Thing is though most people use FB on their phone, not on the internet where Yahoo is inferior.

I don't use Yahoo anymore.
I use MSN for all articles. I find their layout much more neat and clean.

I am not too surprised by this since almost every company out there has a facebook, and they always mention it on TV when they advertise something..

I wonder how long it take for Twitter to beat Yahoo since Twitter is pretty popular as well if you count people using twitter widgets embed on personal websites.
