Yahoo chief executive Jerry Yang will step down, the company announced last night, as the once-highflying Internet portal struggles to steady itself in the turbulent environment for Web media.

I only use Yahoo! Music, their e-mail service is all right but it just doesn't seem logical to use when there's Windows Live. Their Messenger is awful, for a starters it adds (or used to at least: don't know about now): "Powered by Yahoo!" to Internet Explorer. :angry:

So yeah, Yahoo! can disapear with Jerry for all I care. :P I could resort to YouTube for music videos.
