Introduction:

Yahoo is undeniably one of the top internet service providers that serve both users and business worldwide. The firm was founded in 1994 by David Filo and Jerry Yang who were attending Stanford University's PhD program. Yahoo actually started as a hobby for Filo and Yang who have now progressed into a remarkable brand that serves internet users worldwide. Yahoo has become the world's largest global online network of integrated services. Behind only Google, Yahoo is one of the leading search engines on the World Wide Web. The company also has office locations in Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Canada and the United States and is currently headquartered in Sunnyvale, California.
