Yahoo Turns 10; Free Ice Cream for America

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday March 2, 2005 @04:16AM from the strange-promotions dept.

indiejade writes "It was 10 years ago today that Yahoo was born in a trailer outside Stanford University. Joining the celebration is Baskin Robbins, which is serving up a free scoop of ice cream in honor of the day Yahoo began climbing the ranks from its humble beginning. Founders Jerry Yang and David Filo joined CEO Terry Semel to kick off the stock market opening bell this morning. The Birthday Boys claim that they are happy with the steady growth of their company, and expressed no regrets for their "once upon a time" decision to fund Google. "Competition is good," they said prior to the opening bell this morning."

Soy ice cream? by Peale · 2005-03-02 04:27 · Score: 0, Flamebait

Does BR have soy ice cream? I'm cutting dairy out of my diet (milk is BAD FOR YOU) and having an alternative would be great.

Seems to me like this would imply you get something for free today so that you can get hooked on it, then they charge you for it tomorrow when you can't stop. Sounds like a M$ strategy to me...
