Yahoo

Nineties search giant

Yahoo is an American technology company founded in 1994, known for its web portal, email service, and search engine.

Once dominant in early internet culture, it now operates primarily as a media and news platform: I still use my old Yahoo email address. (Lowercase yahoo is an exclamation or a crude person.)
