Was there ever a doubt? The value of Yahoo never changed significantly in terms of quantity of users and stickiness. They were, and remain, the internet's number one portal. Various sub portals and services of theirs take the number one spot as well.

Also, depending on whose numbers you look at, they are either the number two or number three most visited website on the internet overall.

But yeah they're a doomed company :-)

All that doubt a while back was reactionary hype. The only real question was whether Yahoo itself would buy the hype and self destruct.
