**ezrunner** · 03-01-2013, 07:26 PM

If that's the case will Yahoo finally keep their big fat mouth shut about Blackberry! I would pay real money for that!

**Dapper37** · 03-01-2013, 08:11 PM

I shut down the Yahoo app on my phone long before this!

Honestly, the way she has been bashing Blackberry since almost the day she came on board over there, if I didn't know any better I'd think she was still working for Google.

First this BS about implying BB was "not a smartphone" to justify taking it out of the running for corporate use, and now this.

I'd love to know why BB10 no longer does Yahoo push email. I'm truly inclined to wonder if Yahoo just decided not to license their proprietary push protocol to Blackberry the way they did for BIS for all those years.

A lot of hot air from a struggling business. Personally, I don't use Yahoo, so the news about dropping an app for BB is of but a footnote variety to me.

**DuexNoir** · 03-01-2013, 08:25 PM

Yahoo! is still around? I don't think I know anyone here that even talks of Yahoo! anymore, much less use it.

**Bold_until_Hybrid_Comes** · 03-01-2013, 08:51 PM

last time I was on yahoo it was a plethora of TMZ like click bait "news" articles on a spinning carousel that were not relevant to anything. The search engine is sub-par.

**r0v3rT3N** · 03-01-2013, 09:05 PM

People still use Yahoo!...?

**neteng1000** · 03-01-2013, 09:47 PM

I can't help but wonder how many market funds which provide support to Yahoo are big players in the short position on BB...me thinks it's allot!

Don't let the door hit you on your way out, Yahoo

And don't come crawling back later either

**aragone79** · 03-01-2013, 11:41 PM

Yahoo? What Yahoo?

**travaz** · 03-01-2013, 11:47 PM

Well I have to say that Yahoo is one of my must used apps. And yes you can download it from BlackBerry world for os 7. Everyone whines about skype and whatsapp etc. Yahoo is those for me. I have 10 or so friends on yahoo and 000000000 on BBM, havent even installed BBM on my 9930.

**calicocat2010** · 03-02-2013, 12:21 AM

I have a yahoo mail account tied to my yim sn because my friends are too scared to use other instant messengers lol.

The browser will work fine. Who needs the app?

**Dapper37** · 03-02-2013, 12:33 AM

My brother and mother have yahoo mail, I sense a change coming!

**THBW** · 03-02-2013, 12:51 AM

Yahoo is the place where I keep my junk/spam account. Time for a reality check, this company hasn't been a serious player for over a decade. Take it behind the woodshed and put it out it of its misery.

Same reason why I still have a Yahoo account. Yahoo is as relevant these days as AOL, which manages to stick around because there are still folks that depend on AOL's dial-up service (It generates $150 million per quarter for the company.). I'm sure many folks that still maintain an AOL or Hotmail address use it for the same reason many folks keep a Yahoo one.

There was a Yahoo Messenger app on my OS7 that I deleted almost immediately because I had no use for it. If there are/were other Yahoo apps for the BlackBerry, I never sought them out as I had no need for them.

**mrfreetruth** · 03-02-2013, 10:39 AM

Who even uses yaWho anymore?
