    Yahoo is an excellent site with free email, web sites, online games and chat rooms. Yahoo comes with an excellent search engine, so you can find what you're looking for in seconds. It also gives you access to their online shopping, the stock market, TV listings, sites for children only, news and more. To get the free services below and more you have to register with yahoo, this only takes a few minutes but it is well worth it.

    4 Stars YAHO0O0O0O0O0O0, SOD OFF HOTMAIL 29/09/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Completely free, the search engine is powered by google, the games absolutley rock, and hours of entertainment can be had annoying the geeks in the chatrooms.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A huge site makes it harder to find your way around.

    WWW.Yahoo.com, the symbol of our digital times. Yahoo.com is probably one of the most well known services on the Internet. Various television advertising Campaigns have made it more famous than MSN Hotmail. The most recent was of which was a sponsorship of Channel Five Movies - the Gerbil thing… I am still struggling to work out the relevance of that. Any way on we go… Firstly an introduction… Yahoo.com is used by most primarily for two functions one is for the excellent free email service, and the second is the search engine on the home page (which incidentally is powered by ... more

    4 Stars Yahoo - good portal site 25/08/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Loads of facilities

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Rubbish for searches

    Since this category is about portal sites and not search engines I can give Yahoo the thumbs up. As you will see from my opinion on the search facility at Yahoo, I am not exactly their biggest fan. But as a portal this site has it all. Some of the resources available are Chat, Auction, Photo Albums, free e-mail, search engine (rubbish!!), an instant messenger and even shopping. I could happily spend hours on-line and not even leave the Yahoo site. I usually find that I have about six or seven windows open with Yahoo stuff in each of them. If you only use Yahoo for searches or e-mail go back ... more

    5 Stars Yahoo! Briefcase 25/08/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A great accessory for moving documents

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Occasional failure to upload

    Yahoo! Briefcase is an excellent idea. Fed up with carrying disks around? Worry about possibly needing to take something into work from home? Worried about disk corruption? Yahoo! Briefcase allows you a different option. Within the accessories they give you simply use the Briefcase to store files remotely on the web. It is secure as you want it to be (you can allow other people to access files should you so wish) and you can upload or download from anywhere. The only possible worry is if you can’t get into the site. I’ve not had that problem to date, or any trouble downloading things. The only ... more

    5 Stars A place to call home 04/02/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Well all the features a web protal will ever need

    Disadvantages Disadvantages layout can sometimes be a little confusing

    Yahoo is the best web portal that I have found. It has everything you could possible want e-mail, chat and instant messaging. The search engine although not good if your are looking for information on the rarer subject is great place to start any search. If you are looking for an online shop chances are you will find it here. Yahoo messenger, the yahoo instant messenger, has been facing a few problems lately but generally it is the best messenger I have used; it has all the features you could possible want, file transfer, voice chat it even has net to phone. Yahoo also have a clubs section ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fast access speed, Lots to offer

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    I chose to use yahoo because of its popularity. The search results are always very accurate and clear. It offers many different variations of the portal in different countries. I suppose it makes life a hell out easier for people living in different countries. Being from the indian background, I was very impressed with the launch of yahoo india. It is one of the fastest search engines around on the web. This search engine or portal if you like is full of all sorts of advantages and no disadvantages that I can think of. I think every internet user should use this portal as their homepage. ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Loads of services

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not pretty

    Yahoo.com – Do you yahooooooo Ever since I started using the Internet years and years ago Yahoo has always had a reputation as one of the most comprehensive on-line directories - not to be confused with a search engine! Ever since then it has added additional functionality to help build an on-line community and to drive more and more users to the web site on a regular basis. These loyalty tools have culminated in an entirely personalised web site for registered users. “My Yahoo” now features a range of personalised services, from free e-mail, on-line calendar services, to do ... more

    4 Stars Yahoo, for yahoo? 10/07/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Well known, less spam

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not as many results as others

    When you mention the word search engine, I first think of yahoo. Although not really a search engine in the true sense of the word, yahoo still is very popular. It is not as efficient as other search engines but seems to have less misleading results than true search engines. The categories can be difficult to understand and you can get easily lost. It is however good at its job. One of my top search engine tools, along with altavista for more difficult searches. This is probably the first place of visit for me when doing a search. ... more
