YahooReviews 450

Come on! More reviews on Yahoo! Lol.

Anyway, there's only two things I use yahoo for. My junk mail for yahoo, and the main topic, my news. Not saying I'm staying one side on the yahoo writers and all, but its seriously simple, easy access, and they give you an up date on almost anything that happens! Popular, world, leisure, disasters, etc. Besides that, i use google for all other tasks :P Still after so many years since I use yahoo when I was a kid, I'm still using it for other means.

I like Yahoo! Obviously since I use their mail. I like their outlook style in the e-mail theme. I like browsing different articles of different topics. Their write-ups though looked like that were written from a personal blog. They are sometimes lazy, no sense, or just a waste of time. Most of it though are really nice.

I do not use yahoo as a search engine. I heard their search engine was bought by Bing. I would still give Yahoo my 4 stars for having lots and lots of content in there to keep you busy reading.

Please Yahoo. We do not need internet gateways anymore, please figure out what it is that you do. Please provide me some reason to come back to the behemoth that first guided me in footie pajamas through the scary forest that was the internet of the early 90's.

I love the old comercials, I loved many things in the past, yet I find no added value in using your gateway rather than typing out the full URL of the exact product or service I am looking for.

Please, some innovation, a core-competency, anything. It astounds me that you are still a major player. Learn from AOL, they have developed a superb radio offering, (if visually unappealing).

Yahoo, please come back to us. Until then, I have no choice. One star...

Well... I have to admit I only use this website for their free email service & Yahoo Messenger. And it never disappoints me until now. I've been using their email service since 2001. Whew. Quite a customer I am :D. Otherwise the site was quite a bit fun. There are not so important news, celebrity gossip section from Yahoo OMG, Free game trial downloads, Yahoo Shine for your daily living articles, and of course Yahoo Answer, which is a very fun place to troll.(LOL). For free emails, Yahoo is the best.

Mike's Writer's Workshop, on Yahoo Groups. Here is the address:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mikeswritingworkshop/

It's called a writer's workshop but is actually a writer's message board. It is a simple format, one single thread for all. Knowledgeable and helpful folk, a nice crowd. Good place for any type of writing-related information or to find critique partners. I like that the moderator/owner (Mike) does not participate in the chat as I've found that too often leads to all sorts of silliness, from favoritism to using unfair leverage (subtly or blatantly) to get to "win" any discussion. This forum is refreshingly free of mess.

The only reason I gave it a 3 instead of a 4 is, in all fairness, also a lot of the reason the mess is minimized- no messages are posted until Mike approves them. The problem with this is Mike might not be available to approve messages for hours, days or once even weeks.

If you can live with that, it's very nice.

I've been posting on Yahoo news sites and have found the moderators there are very left=leaning, favoring what are now Islamist terrorists posting death threats against all non-Muslims over and over. Spammers will post anti-conservative rants over and over and although it's against the rules to do so, the mods will not delete them. However, if someone criticizes our the present man in the WH, it will not be posted. I just got through posting about the media being so self serving to the present administration, stating that Pravda is a much bettor source of unbiased info. It wasn't posted. I posted a link where the author was very critical of some of Obama's policies. Wasn't posted. But there are two pages of one Islamist posting the same threats over and over against the American public such as "We will rape you." I can't post the whole thing, but it's abut how they are everywhere and have the backing of IMPORTANT people, have access to the electronics of this nation and can turn us off immediately. Will take over our government. On and on. Nothing is done about it.

This is a very poor site for any kind of honest commentery on recent news. I've complained and complained. Nothing happens. Don't waste your time.
