Okay. Let's sum up why I'm reviewing Yahoo(I'm no longer going to be adding the "!", screw off). A long time ago on this site, I reviewed Yahoo chat...this review was...poor, to say the least. While I did do well in the "H" and "SH" department, I did poorly everywhere else. Well, now I'm better at rambling and appearing to be on topic when I'm really not, so this should be a bit easier now. I'll be reviewing the whole site, so if you're one of those "YOUR ONLY SUPPOSED TO REVIEW NARROWLY AND EXACTLY WHAT THE GIVEN TOPIC IS" retards, then feel free to not read this at all and give me your sewage-smell-reminiscent "NH".
The Yahoo Search Engine
Ah, yes, the Yahoo search engine...I can sum it up in just one simple phrase, "use Google or Altavista". While I admittedly use the search engine all the time, it's more out of habit than anything else. I know I'm beating my head against a brick wall, but keep doing it anyway, it's like heroine...or Epinions.
More specifically, the Yahoo search engine is: old, never updated, surrounded by advertisements, full of dead links and lacking specific search options. Save yourself some heartache and use a better search engine.
Yahoo Games
Yahoo games are okay. They work, they're a way to pass the time. But, there are better online gaming stations out there if you are willing to look for them, they may not have as many people as Yahoo games but, do you really need 10,000 people to play bridge?
Yahoo Stocks, News, and all that sh-t
The stocks and news services are probably updated more than anything else on the site these days. Not much of the information actually comes from Yahoo itself though, so you could go just about anywhere for this stuff. It is easy to navigate, though. This is about average.
Yahoo Messenger
Wow, you know. Some of the features yahoo installs are pretty cool, customizability, the ability to add nicknames, and the messenger integrates right into their chat! However...guess what? Guess.....did you guess? You can find most of these feature on any other messenger service! Isn't that funny? The best part is, Yahoo's messenger servers are so horribly unreliable that you'll be cursing the Yahoo technicians almost daily! This is pretty below average, which leads into my favorite topic...
Yahoo Chat
Oh yes, perhaps the biggest and most unreliable chat service on the planet. Yahoo chat literally collapses upon itself nearly every day, bringing down the room lists, disallowing some chatters to see the typings of other chatters, hidden users not in the room lists, and a myriad of other unique and interesting aggravations.
New chatters flood into Yahoo chat every day with the sole intention of acting like total morons and ruining your chatting experience. Luckily there's an ignore feature, but in some of the more popular rooms the click-fest is like battling a horde of Mongols swooping down upon your quaint Chinese village. But wait! That's not all! Advertising and porn bots run amok as the powers that be at Yahoo headquarters seem more interesting in changing protocol to frustrate third-party chat interface developers than actually creating a secure and solid chat channel...
So, you may now be asking...WHY choose Yahoo?
Only for the entertainment value, of course.
Almost every part of Yahoo has been on a slow decline. Crumbling to the ground with crushing force. It's like...watching a dying star. Being part of an empire toward the end of its lifetime. It is destruction right before your eyes. That is COOL!
Yahoo seems to have its hands full at all times. Their staff never answer complaints, so you can aggravate other people as much as you want to. It's like total anarchy! You like anarchy, don't you? Of course you do! The only thing those folks at Yahoo seem to care about is getting the money and running. They only update the hot features, only care about drawing new people in and not keeping their old clientel. It's like government in action.
Oh, yeah, and the little people there. How about Yahoo Personals?
HOT HORNY ELDERLY AZN TRANSEXUAL SEEKING MEANINGFUL REALSHIP WIT UUUUUUUUU!!! CONTACT AT nottynottygurl8u@brothel.com!!! I BE WAITING 4 U SEXII TING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You absolutely have to think that is funny or you've been brainwashed or dead. Yahoo is THE place for freaks. My dad and I both use Yahoo. I think I've proven my point. So, if you want to see an entire network slowly die and writhe in utter pain and agony, choose Yahoo! "Where the freaks go."
