Sizzls Blog Why YAHOO sucks?

This is a true story. I got some Pizza hut certificates over the holiday season. I was travailing to bay area in a weekend in Jan 2009. I found the certificate in the car grove box and decided to use it. This is a new area to me. I search “Pizzahut Fremont” in yahoo.com. This is the screen shot:

YAHOO PIZZAHUT FREMONT

YAHOO PIZZAHUT FREMONT

It is my luck as always. I picked the third one. To make it short, it was a Saturday night around 6:30, and it was a high traffic area with at least three good size plazas. I spent nearly an hour there. Finally I called the phone number and ask which plaza they are. At first they didn’t understand me, then they told me the Pizzhut on Mission Blvd was close and the phone number is redirected to second one, the one in Grimmer.

Well, this is not a big deal, I know. It happens to everyone and I should keep it all to myself. Two months later, Just curious, I search “Pizzahut Fremont” in Google, They don’t show the one already closed.

Yeah, I know, they get their data from other sources. Yahoo does not compile the data, nothing wrong with Yahoo. If anyone wondering why Yahoo stock tumbling so much, this is sort of the answer.

  2. Hey thanks for stopping by at my Blog!

    As you saw already, I too have had problems with Yahoo.

    Yours seems to do with misinformation and and poor Data provided by Yahoo.
    I’m sorry for that incident… :(

    But yes you should still take about it, even though it is little,
    because little Data errors like this could cause others allot of trouble had the Scenario been slightly different.
    We are supposed to be able to trust in these “Big Guys” of the information world.

    My case is that Yahoo robbed me of my money, in a Yahoo Small Business trick where the forced a 350% renewal price increase on Thousands of their customers.

    The story is here:

    All the best to you man!
