I am still using yahoo mail, but I can't even remember when I last used their messenger or search engine. Seems a bit crazy to buy them just for those tools. Especially for that price.
Maybe I can't see the wood for the trees but that looks like the biggest waste of $5b I've ever seen....

I hope sky go back to google mail now as I hate yahoo & don't like the sound of this.
Are Flickr and Tumblr included (if Yahoo still own them)? Probably add a bit of value even though they seem to be on the decline.
It makes some scary reading looking at the stuff Yahoo bought, screwed up and shut down soon after. What a mess.
Deal has now been officially confirmed.
I use their email as well but only as a backup. Gmail is my main. So this means I should see Yahoo on everything instead of Bing I'm guessing on their phones. Lovely.
