Hadn't seen this yet but find it interesting - and not surprising.  I thought that this was a strange acquisition for Verizon when it happened and not stunned to see the divestiture now.  I think Verizon was trying to play "me too" with AT&T rather than making a good strategic investment (not that I'm any type of expert here).

Stay safe,

Don’t know if you have seen but yahoo is being sold again, as well as aol. Too 
bad this is happening after they shut down yahoo groups.  Personally, I thought 
there was more they could have done to make groups a viable business. A lot of 
people use Facebook groups for different kinds research, travel info, family 
groups, club news, church, etc.  Considering the amount of never Facebook folks 
out there I would have thought they could have improved the interface and made 
it a viable alternative.

Wonder what the new folks will do with yahoo mail.  They definitely need to 
improve its app.
