When I first saw the "Top Ten Reasons to Stay at Yahoo" blog I was expecting a Letterman-style list of reasons. I can't believe someone thought of 10 reasons to actually go down with the ship! So, here is my list, for those who really can't seem to lower themselves into a lifeboat...
10. They're going to replace 360 with another product. It will have as many bugs as the last one, but you should remain faithful to Yahoo and ignore that pesky fact.
9. Its a scary world out there... stick with what you know.
8. Yahoo has so many products that they're proud of. Who cares if they don't work together?
7. Yahoo is checking out its competitors so it can borrow interfaces from others that are really good.
6. Yahoo will preserve your list of friends. They might even preserve your friends' comments to show for one minute every hour. It is up to you to figure out which minute that is, though.
5. Yahoo has been around a long time. They aren't going anywhere! (Yeah, no kidding- they are stagnant- this one was actually on the other list!)
4. Yahoo has brought in new help and fresh faces to totally redo everything. It will all be totally different than ever!
3. They will upgrade customer service modules to include a automated email response that reads "don't bother me with you're problems I just work here."
2. Mash is easier to use than Multiply. Why, even a child could figure it out!
1. Matt Warburton will give you his office number so that you may personally call him with any problems. He promises to get back to you within the next 5 years.
When I saw the list I was stunned. My first thought was who is paying these guys to post this drivel? While I know they are trying to keep folks calm .........hello the boat is sinking people you wanna live dont ya? Save your stuff nobody else will least of all Yahoo! Yahoo is connected to AT&T now. They both were great companies....key word here.....WERE. They are both a mess now and people hear those brand names and think oh ....good product! Sadly its not like that anymore. If you dont have good stuff to back up that good name , in time you will have nothing. Someone said recently on another blog.....just watch , next year Google will buy them ............ya know I bet THAT will happen! lol
ReplyDeleteLOL if Google do buy them it will be to rape the company of anything they(might) want and then dump the rest
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be the best thing to happen at this point?
ReplyDeleteSimply from a systems administrator/progammer/web design back ground what they are doing or attempting on doing is just completely nuts. I do not see how that list of questions or reasons could calm anyone done but only heighten the worry of losing everything they have there. Talk about bugs spreading.
ReplyDeleteLol, too funny and you're absolutely right!
