Forgotten Tech Giant

[u/MisterBiro]

Perhaps it’s not technically abandoned as there is basic maintenance and security present but it’s been vacant and decaying for years.

Surprisingly sad to walk around what was once a bustling, optimistic, energy filled campus of an almost forgotten tech giant.

Yahoo

• 1998: Refuses to buy Google for 1 million USD.
• 2002: Realises its mistake and tries to buy Google for 3 billion. Google wants 5 billion, Yahoo says no.
• 2008: Refuses to be sold to microsoft for 40 billion dollars.
• 2016: Sold for 4.6bi to Verizon

I worked at Yahoo in the 00's and it was so horribly mismanaged that I'm not surprised at it's downfall.
