    My addiction to Flickr stopped after their revamp made it unusable a few years ago.

    Yahoo Groups has been revamped in a way that's lost many of its useful features - like searching in past posts. I update a group every week - and it is no surprise when some feature has stopped working or behaves differently.

    Recently I couldn't upload Yahoo Group files for several weeks - then the file delete stopped working for a while. Then the text in a posting started to arrive in the email copies with paragraph spacing removed. Then it started to arrive double-spaced.

    It used to be predictable and useful. Now it is a chore with gritted teeth.

    They need a new logo

    They need to revamp the logo. This time they should set the pitch of the exclamation mark to 18 degrees. 17 just doesn't bring in the punters.

      That is scheduled for the next stage of transformation, in order to properly align business metrics with market conditions and shareholder expectations.
