There is a new CEO lady for Yahoo at the helm and she's Carol Bartz, whose credentials spanned Autodesk and Sun Microsystems. Yahoo failed to be sold to Microsoft and smotch a partnership with Google late last year. During Yahoo's legacy, they decided to do away with yahoo photos and forced all users to migrate to Flickr, a company which they bought. If you have been using Yahoo Finance or yahoo answers, you will also notice that the quality of support has dropped tremendously (emails have gone unanswered)and one won't be sure if there's anyone actually providing support to it on the backend. Not sure what will the new changes mean and whether users (esp. Yahoo mail/Group users)will be forced again to accept some unprecedented changes with the new leadership...
