Altaba sounds terrible.What were they thinking?

 

[gofreak]

Is this going to be the site's name, or is just a new name for the company that owns the Yahoo brand?

 

[Langdon Alger]

My email is with Yahoo. I hope it doesn't get fucked up somehow.

 

[Daybreaker]

The name change is awful, it will put people off from using their services.

New name for the company that doesn't own any of the Yahoo brand.

The latter.

 

[Mister Wilhelm]

This reminds me of Qwikster for some reason.

 

[medrew]

The latter.

No, it's not. It's for the company that will hold the shares in Alibaba and Yahoo Japan and own some patents.

No one who interacts with the the current yahoo services will use anything under the control of altabas.

There's a lot of misinformation in this thread which is just reenforcing bad jokes.

That's what I was trying to say / what I thought gofreak meant.

Altaba is the new name for a large pile of money that doesn't do anything.

Yahoo, the site, is now owned by Verizon, and its name will not change.
