I never use Yahoo. With so much crap on their sites, the search engine takes way too long. And why should I use Yahoo when I have Google?

Yahoo as a search engine is terrible. Especially doing a photo search. I usually yield zero photos with Yahoo but dozens using Google picture search.

As an email application, it's good for what it's made for, but it comes with hella glitches. It's a free email service so I don't expect gold.

Yahoo News is the only real decent part of this website. It's up-to-date, thorough, and I read the headlines several times day. Much user-friendly than CNN.com.

Yahoo Comics is awful. Most days it's not updated, and their support doesn't "support" any complaints or suggestions regarding that part of Yahoo.

The new Yahoo Homepage interface is awful and extremely glitch-y. It's cumbersome, confusing at times, and windows pop open if you accidentally mouse over certain parts of the page. Then it takes a couple of seconds for the page to close on it's own so that you can continue your cursor journey to the link you were running after.

I think Yahoo has bitten off more than they can chew with sub-standard services, a page full of glitches and such small search results with the search engine, it's hardly worth it.

they're a bit of an underdog when you put them in front of Google, but they do have a few useful applications....namely Flickr.

I have never found Yahoo services to be to my liking. I use the service rarely and find it to be scattered and not coordinated. Google services win hands down in every comparison.

I don't really use yahoo for search. I think they have some great tools outside the realm of search that i use pretty often, but their critical functionality doesn't offer me the results I need most of the time.

I used to use Yahoo as my home page... back in 1998. Unfortunately aside from a few great properties like Flickr and Delicious, they've been overwhelmed by spammers.

I use MyYahoo!, which is pretty handy, and I do like Yahoo!Music (I had an account back when it was launchcast, so I kept using it), but that's about it. I have a Yahoo! email address, but I don't use it for anything.

Yahoo! has a ton of great tools including Delicious, Flickr, Y! Site Explorer, Y! Finance, their fantasy sports site, and even their search is pretty good (but not as good as Google). But the fact that Google beats them in search seems to have covered with the whole company with this cloud of despair. Snap out of it Y! - you're better than that.

Yahoo is alright, but I tend to like Google better. My Dad says that Yahoo is bad for your computer. He says that if you work on Yahoo you are making your computer more vunerable to hackers and such. I don't know if this is true, but I have noticed in the past that my computer freezes up sometimes while I am on Yahoo.

The search engine is hampered by the usual commercial listings and sponsored links, which always take priority. As a portal its almost par excellant? The groups, games, news et el makes Yahoo a good way to waste some time.

With a few esthetic tweaks, Yahoo's search engine seems to be nearly identical to Google. The search is quick and can be narrowed using categories. On top of all of this, the biggest advantage is that Yahoo! has so many other features that one doesn't have to go to another site (eg Google) to perform the search.

Yahoo may have been your first stop to search for web sites when connecting online for the first time, since it's been helping shape the web we all know and love for years now. Not only does it have a search engine, which is now operated by Google, but it has many other features as well, such as message groups, stores, games, and auctions. The only things that I'm sure many users complain about are the constant ads that many put up with through areas such as the message boards. Yahoo may not be the greatest engine, but it's still the best place to get to know a little more about the web.
