1995 Was a Good Year
Yesterday my 1995 Subaru finally died after struggling for 2 years with radiator/head gasket problems. It was a tough old car, and it didn’t go down easy. It will be missed.
Yahoo Search, which launched the same year as my Soobee was born, gave up the ghost yesterday as well. It took a year for them to succumb to the inevitable. However, Yahoo’s not actually gone away. It’s basically an impostor — Bing with Yahoo’s name on it. Do a search on both services. The number of hits are the same. So are the top 10 results. The “Show Only” hint at the top of the SERP, too. Only the ads are different.
Yahoo was a tough old survivor. But nothing lasts forever. Not even a Subaru.
