Yahoo needs to simplify and reinvent the company and in
the way for it’s aim, the company has just released that it will be shutting
down it’s 12 products in coming days and months. Among 12 products, the
once-popular search engine, AltaVista is also included which is going to be
shut down on 08-July-2013.
In addition AltaVista, Yahoo is shutting down a number
of services that never quite caught on.That includes Yahoo WebPlayer (which won't work after
June 30th), RSS alerts (which will be replaced by email alerts on July 1st),
and Axis, a search application and plugin that was just released last year.
Axis came out brusquely before Marissa Mayer stepped up as Yahoo CEO, so it’s
not surprising to see the company crackdown house under her direction. We are shutting
down a few products so we can carry on focusing on creating beautiful products
that are necessary to you every day, reads a post declaring the news.
The company is pulling the plug on Yahoo! Axis, Yahoo!Browser Plus, Citizen Sports, Yahoo!, WebPlayer, FoxyTunes, Yahoo! RSS Alerts, Yahoo!
Neighbors Beta, Yahoo! Starts India, Yahoo Downloads Beta, Yahoo! Local API and Yahoo! Term
Extraction API
Users of civilian Sports are organism asked to use
Yahoo! Sports. Whoever is still using its WebPlayer, might desire to remove the
line calling for the player in your code. FoxyTunes users can use Yahoo! Music,
the company said. You can subscribe to Keyword News alerts at Yahoo! Alerts and
receive them on email. For personality news from India, try Yahoo! India OMG!
