Yahoo closes some more services and applications.

It seems that the current head of Yahoo, Marissa Mayer, is going to remove all side directions of the company, leaving only the main ones. So, the other day Mayer announced that in the near future several more services will be closed and the support of several applications terminated. This is done not only for the sake of concentrating the strength of employees in the main areas of the company's work, but also for the sake of economy.

In addition, the company's management is currently engaged in restructuring the work of Yahoo, highlighting the relevant areas, and removing the side. First of all, the products of the company that are “not used by users every day,” and those that could not become quite popular, are removed. It is clear that the popularity of applications evaluates the management of the company.

Last year Marissa Mayer announced that she considers it optimal for the company to support no more than 15 services and applications. Otherwise, the product becomes difficult to manage, and it just gets out of control. At the time of the entry of Mayer in the position of the head of Yahoo, the corporation supported the work of about 75 different applications and services. Now this amount has been reduced by almost half.

Applications and services that are discontinued include Yahoo Clues, Yahoo Message Boards, Yahoo Search app, Yahoo Sports IQ, and Yahoo Updates API. Among other things, the release of the Yahoo application for BlackBerry is terminated.
