Yahoo Killing Maps, Pipes & More

Posted by samzenpus on from the so-long dept.

alphadogg writes: Yahoo is shutting down its mapping service, Pipes and reducing the availability of Yahoo TV and Yahoo Music. The company has decided instead to focus on three major parts of its business: search, communications, and digital content. "We made this decision to better align resources to Yahoo's priorities as our business has evolved since we first launched Yahoo Maps eight years ago," says the company.

    Yahoo held on to Jerry Yang WAY longer than most stockholders or common sense would have dictated. Mostly because he and various people he knows owned/own such a large percentage of the company (if not a controlling share).
