I only know my own experiences, & I'm becoming more & more disappointed
with Yahoo. I search for & compile web sites with information content for
K-12 students, & I've just about given up on Yahoo for worthwhile stuff.
Nowadays, whenever I do a Yahoo search, it seems to come up with an
overwhelming number of commercial sites and a lot of dead links.
Yahooligans is even worse. It seems to be almost _all_ commercial sites
these days. I'm using mostly MetaCrawler & HotBot to find the good stuff.
