Why YAHOO sucks?
Saturday, March 7th, 2009This 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:
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.
