Yahoo
lights on, nobody home
32 years 171 days and counting
Jerry Yang and David Filo, 1994. Still a homepage for someone. Not for the industry.
Why it lasted
- A media and mail brand that still has logins from the 90s.
- Apollo / Verizon / Apollo again: financial engineering as life support.
Times it almost ended
- Google ate search. Facebook ate attention. Yahoo ate itself in acquisitions.
What would finish it
- A private equity slide that sells the remaining properties for parts. Always in progress.
