Read it a few years ago... can't find the link anymore. Article said that the things that kept Yahoo alive were finance, women, and sports, and I bet they lost that finance thing since then.

edit: best I can find is this article pointing out Yahoo mail's 63% female userbase, but it's pretty thin.

The finance page hasn't changed drastically. It's a bit more polished, but, shrug... looks all right to me.

For free data, the Yahoo finance API has remained stable and usable. The Google finance API, well... https://developers.google.com/finance/


Wow I hadn't realized but even my mom uses Yahoo for mail.
