    5 Stars yahoo.com and yahoo.co.uk 07/03/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good search results, loads of content.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Promotion can be a bit long winded, possible bugs with SMS alerts.

    For years I never liked Yahoo, I have no really logical explanation for this, I think it was because it was difficult if not impossible to do automatic promotions to the site. However with "age and maturity" I now feel that their policy of a "human being" reviewing each submission is better than the unknown policies of many of the other search engines! Searching results are accurate and precise as a result, some of the best most appropriate results of all the search engines I feel. But what impresses me about Yahoo these days is the masses of original content. Free e-mail Free hosting (see ... more

    Advantages Advantages Fast

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Irrelevant sites come up

    I have an email address with Yahoo and use their site to search for websites. The search engine is fairly fast, but always comes up with far too many results; many of which are very irrelevant to what I actually want to find. I think there should be more catagories found per keyword and less websites found. For instance if I wanted to find out a site about UK Garage music and I put in "garage" then instead of thousands of websites mostly irrelevant I should get catagories like one catagory for garage music and another for petrol stations instead of having the lot lumped together. The search ... more

    4 Stars My homepage 03/08/2000
    User recommends the product
    I like yahoo due to the fact that its really easy to use and you can normally find what you want on it. I signed up with ntl but found there homepage to be dreadful so I use yahhoo as my homepage. Its got a really good selection of links and the news service is excellent. The search engine is a bit slow and cimbersome to use till you get the hang of it -all the subsections can be a bit daunting at first but if you look carefully you usually find whay you are after.They have also got a really good auction site and links to small adverts which is another plus. Not bad at all is really what I can ... more

    5 Stars The internet backbone. 08/11/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Totally full of everything needed.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not any I can think of...

    Yahoo! I've found it! Yahoo is the best place on the net to get what you want, it has excellent categories and great sub-categories. Yahoo has merged with google.com so they have control of advanced searchs, I did prefer the old layout for this part but it's growing on me and I like the way it looks for them. Yahoo! also has other features, like it's own mail - a service similar to hotmail, chat - one of the best chat servers available, shopping - a collection of famous shops to get you what you want. If you want to check out the best search engine on the net head over to www.yahoo.com. ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use and easy on the eyes

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not very many pictures on this site

    Yahoo is the best search engine on the web. It's website is set out in a simple and easy on the eye way and does not feature too many adverts, it loads itself up really quickly too. There is a box where you can search for things in. It usually takes less than one minute to search for things using Yahoo. You can search the wholoe of the Internet, just the UK or just Ireland. If you follow their search tips you usually get the results that are wanted, remember to use speech marks around double words, etc. The site will bring you around 20 links back depending on how many threre are per page ... more

    5 Stars My choice of search engine 01/08/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use, popular

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not good for really specific search

    I have been using Yahoo as my search engine for all sorts of purposes. And I rate this search engine as the best compared to other search engine in the Internet. Being the first search engine and the most original one, I have been using it for years. I always used Yahoo search engine as a first place to look for information regarding my research. Apart from that, I always search in Yahoo to find the specific companies websites, for example: I search for Agilent Technologies homepage via Yahoo. Since it is so popular and almost every company will sure to have a listings on Yahoo, I am sure that ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Got everything you need in one site, Excellent - Lightening fast, Complete information in the world,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    Yahoo is one of the first 'portals' on the Internet and it has always retained its position as the best. And it is also one of the fastest sites out there. Over the many years of my Internet usage Yahoo has become my own personalized Internet. Be it email, search, chat, calendar, instant messaging, an address book, bookmarks, file storage, photo storage, notepad or just news, Yahoo has everything that I need to exploit the full power of the Net for my daily needs. It is not just the features at Yahoo! that appeals to me, it is their unique philosophy and commitment to provide the best features ... more

    4 Stars Interesting 12/06/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Interesting

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slow e-mail

    Yahoo is most impressive. As long as you remember to state that you are looking for something in the UK then you will be ok. You do have to be exact with what you are looking for. I like it much better than Alta Vista and it's quite quick. The e-mail appears to be very long and drawn out. Compared with AOL, it is very slow in loading. Not a bad sight and worth checking out. But there are a lot better sights out there. Ask Jeeves is boring and Lycos is OK. ... more
