Why YAHOO sucks?

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

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.

Orlando Florida Vacation Homes

When choosing your accommodations for your next vacation to Disney World, consider renting an Orlando vacation home instead of staying in a resort or a hotel. These rental homes are often less expensive and can accommodate more guests than a typical hotel room. The added privacy, along with the convenience of having a kitchen to prepare your own meals and a private pool to enjoy makes these vacation homes near Disney a popular choice among visitors to Orlando.

These homes can sometimes be booked through a travel agent, but the quickest and easiest way to find the perfect Disney vacation home is to visit one of the many sites dedicated to booking vacation home rentals in Orlando, Florida. These sites usually include a photo gallery of the actual homes available, so you can view each home and choose the one that you like best.

Most visitors to Orlando will agree that once they’ve stayed in a vacation home or condo, they will never go back to staying in a hotel again!
