A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yahoo under Mayer seemed to have the same strategic issue as Yahoo before Mayer; it didn't know what to do with what it had.
Tumblr should still be a giant in social media. Flickr should have been a better used product than Google Photos and the basis for building their cloud storage service.
Yahoo could never figure out the step 2 required before making a company profitable.
Might want to start with not being a robot.
