Yahoo announced today it’s shuttering a handful of
products, including Qwiki, a mobile app Yahoo
acquired last July for $50 million, which helps users
create movies from the photos and videos in their
Camera Roll. Also getting the boot are Yahoo
Education, a site designed to connect users to
educational content and providers, as well as Yahoo
Directory, the 20-year old listing of websites which is
how old people used to browse the web.
I kid, I kid. We’re not so old!
Still, seeing Directory shut down for good has an “end
of an era” vibe to it. It’s not like anyone ever used
the site anymore to browse the web – can you really
believe that this is how it was once done? – but
seeing it snuffed out may leave you feeling a bit
nostalgic for the good ol’ days of the pre-Google era.
Yahoo Directory will be shut down on December 31,
2014, the company says. Yahoo notes that advertisers
will be upgraded to a new service. (There were
advertisers?! They must have been targeting Jerry.)
Meanwhile,
Qwiki, also
the
TechCrunch
Disrupt SF
2010
winner , will
be closed
down on
November
1st. Yahoo
says that the team will be tasked instead with.
