The Brutal Decline of Yahoo! infographic

Here’s a fun one from Scores.org. The Brutal Decline of Yahoo! examines the troubled history of Yahoo! in search, advertising and acquisitions.

Designed by our friend, Jess Bachman, this one relies heavily on visuals related to the events on the timeline over the last 16 years. A little text heavy for my tastes, but I had forgotten at least half of this stuff that Yahoo! messed up. It’s a little amazing that they’re still as big as they are.
