Yahoo shutting down many products which includes Yahoo BOSS, LiveText, Games and more

Yahoo is planning to shutdown many of their products which includes Yahoo BOSS, LiveText, Games and Yahoo Regional Media Properties. The latest plan of Yahoo is to focus more on seven core consumer products: Mail, Search, Tumblr, News, Sports, Finance and Lifestyle. Over 1 billion people come to Yahoo each day, and we are dedicated to providing them with the best experience possible.

Yahoo Games: As part of our efforts to focus on select areas, the Yahoo Games site and publishing channel will be discontinued as of Friday, May 13, 2016. For more information, please read the FAQ.

Yahoo Livetext: We are shutting down Livetext at the end of March 2016. Livetext allowed us to experiment with new user experiences and features to drive innovations across our products. We plan to incorporate the learnings and features into Yahoo products including Yahoo Messenger, our core messaging platform.
Yahoo Regional Media Properties: In the coming weeks, we will shut down some of our regional, genre-specific media properties to streamline our editorial offering to focus on our four core content areas: News, Sports, Finance and Lifestyle.

  • Yahoo Astrology will close in the UK, France, Germany, Spain and India.
  • Yahoo Maktoob (Arabic and English) genre-specific media sites, including News, Celebrity, Movies, Style, Helwa, Sports and Weather, will close and the pages will redirect to the Yahoo Maktoob homepages in Arabic and English.

Yahoo BOSS: To streamline and simplify products for our developer community, we are discontinuing BOSS JSON Search API and BOSS Hosted Search, as well as the BOSS Placefinder and Placespotter APIs, on March 31, 2016. We are offering YPA, a new Javascript solution, for publishers who manage their own search engine results pages. Now with free algorithmic web results, publishers can monetize across desktop, tablet or mobile web with Yahoo search ads. Moving forward, Yahoo Mobile Developer Suite is our offering for mobile developers.
