Yahoo Inc to rename to Altaba

[premkumar]

Look like after Verizon deal and selling yahoo name and email services to verizion, yahoo inc will be renamed to Altaba . My first thing after reading is checking whois of Altaba but look like owned by yahoo and created in 2001, too long for a 6L. Altaba will be the most valuable 6L pick by a billion dollar company, infact most valuable domain name pick of 2017. Yahooooooooooooo...Wish had this 6L

What you guys quote , if you own this domain and yahoo approach you to buy it ? :P

altbaba.com now is owned from uniregistry and is for sale , how much ask for it ?

Yeah - the NameServers changed. Kinda kicking myself for not scooping it BIN while I had the chance... Hopefully the owner comes forward :D

She made a fortune in doing so, I read she made $122,000,000 and change from Yahoo,.

Thank god Merissa Mayer finally is off the board, she did frigging great @killing Yahoo.

Yeah she sucks. Noting good she tired. But I have seen people like her close down an empire and sell it in bit and pieces and exit. I find not to think, does this people get an under the table fortune to sell the company to 3rd party. If I remember correctly, myspace sold for just $5 million by its last CEO, point to note at it peak myspace sold its ad space to google for $800 million per year

Not a fan. Good luck to them

But I am, I still use Yahoo mail and I used yahoo messenger till they take out public chat. Infact Yahoo public chat room is best place to find friend, like minded people and opp sex for dating.

What I meant to say is that Im not a fan of the new name. I still use the same yahoo email that Ive had since the heyday of Angelfire, Tripod, and Geocities lol

Yahoo pretty much fire saled it's true soul, going back to 2000, Yahoo was it, for Finance, Mail, Forums, such a powerhouse, they had a huge advantage over the companies that came from behind and lay it to rest.

It is such a strong brand, it redefined the word Yahoo, almost sad to see it called after a keyword ALT TAB or whatever

Not really a big fan of the domain name that's for sure.

But the Verizon deal has been put at risk by Yahoo’s recent detection of two computer hacking attacks that exposed personal information from more than 1 billion user accounts throughout two different intrusions that happened in 2013 and 2014.
