They have been my home page for years. I have looked for a new one, but never found one that gives me what they offer. As crazy as that sounds.

I tried to use Yahoo! for this and that over the years, I always kind of liked them, especially when they owned Zimbra. But more and more, I just can't find anything that they do well. Yahoo! Finance, I guess

Except almost no one pays for personal email. You'd just get a free account from Yahoo or Google.

Looks like 36.4% Softbank and 35.5% Yahoo according to a cited WIkipedia article.
This is interesting:
Since 2010, Yahoo! Japan's search engine has been based on Google's search technology. In exchange, Google receives user activity data from Yahoo! Japan's various products.
