Yahoo (/ˈjɑːhuː/ ⓘ, styled yahoo! in its logo)[4] is an American web services portal. The web portal provides search engine Yahoo Search and related services including My Yahoo, Yahoo Mail, Yahoo News, Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Sports and its advertising platform, Yahoo Native. It is operated by the namesake company Yahoo! Inc., which is 90% owned by Apollo Global Management and 10% by Verizon.
Yahoo was established by Jerry Yang and David Filo in January 1994 and was one of the pioneers of the early Internet era in the 1990s.[5] However, its use declined in the 2010s as some of its services were discontinued, and it lost market share to Facebook and Google.[6][7]
