          Exactly how has Australia gone to shit? Seriously say one good, definitive reason why us having a *female* PM has caused your life to be so miserable.

      The sad thing is, according to Alexa, Yahoo is still the 4th most popular website in the world, and 5th most popular in Australia.

      (Of course, the accuracy of the Alexa rankings is questionable, since it’s really the 4th most popular website amongst users dumb enough to install the Alexa toolbar.)

        Who even uses Yahoo anymore?

        It’s the Myspace to Google’s Facebook.

    I wonder if it was Yahoo Acct / Oztips mid season login debacle related. I’m thinking probably.
