Yahoo announced this when the directory is nearly 20 years of age.

This is not the only product they are closing down, they are also closing Yahoo Education30th September 2014 and also Qwiki on 1st November 2014.

In 1994 Yahoo began and they soon ruled the internet and became one of the most common ways that people found websites.

Was Google the killer of Yahoo? Google came along in 1998 and have developed the Internet to be apart of our life in our view and for this reason we believe it stands a good chance.
