Yahoo! is a prominent Internet[2] portal that was established in 1994 by Jerry Yang and David Filo. The company experienced significant growth and evolution over the years, which was marked by a series of acquisitions, partnerships, leadership changes, and various instances of rebranding. Yahoo! was initially known for its moteur de recherche[1] and web directory and later expanded its services to include courriel[3], news, and other online services. Despite facing challenges such as data breaches and financial losses, Yahoo! has remained a significant player in the online world. The company was acquired by Verizon in 2016 and later by Apollo Global Management in 2021, which led to further changes in its corporate identity.
