Off-hand:

Yahoo Fantasy Sports is very popular, considered by many to be the best online fantasy sports site.

Yahoo Finance is popular.

Yahoo Mail has a lot of people who would do anything to continue using it.

Digging around a bit, here's what they consider to be their "core services" that are getting their focus lately: Search, Mail, Tumblr, Sports, News, Flickr, Lifestyle and Finance. You can argue more about some of those than others.

That $1.1Bilion price tag paid for Tumblr is just over 10% of the indicated price tag. Maybe Tumblr are also good for something.

You're joking right? They keep writing off Tumblr, it is worthless. Just 4 days ago:

> Yahoo also reported Monday that it's writing down $482 million in charges related to the declining value of Tumblr, the social-blogging service that Yahoo acquired for $1.1 billion in 2013. Combined with an earlier write-down of $230 million, that indicates Tumblr's value has plunged by almost two-thirds.

There is a certain irony reading about the downfall of Yahoo on Yahoo news.

It has employees as assets. And Mayer, of course.
