  1. I dumped all yahoo services except messenger and limited mail quite a while ago. Yahoo is slowly dieing on the vine

  3. They just can't seem to get their act together or keep up. Now, they may be hoping to convert some site-users over to for-pay Y! Small Business. I have one of the latter. It's ok and easy to use, but it ain't cheap.

  4. Yes, they will be eliminating my simple little free web site that took so much time to set up, but it was free and it was there. I started another one, now I forget the address, but I haven't taken the time to do much to it. I think it is at freewebs.com. and maybe it was even sloughdude that told me about them.

    No, it doesn't look good for yahoo.

  5. Yep, it was I! I was thinking of setting my site up on freewebs, and may just do that 'cause Y! isn't giving it any visibility in browser searches. I mean I look up "Brazoria genealogy," "Brazoria genealogical research" and dang, I'm still way way down on the list---even when using Y! as the browser search engine.
