Almost Yahooed

Interesting read. I agreed with most of the build-up to the climax. Yahoo! does frequent my mind now! Yahoo! is doing some interesting things!

Although, after reading I did visit Yahoo.com on my iOS device's and I was greeted with a much more pleasant mobile experience than the OP. For example, swiping gestures flicked through headline articles, stationary search bar, and a hamburger menu icon that hid navigation to other areas of Yahoo!.

Maybe it was just the OP's device?

So I downloaded yahoo's android app.

10 minutes later I was still unable to register for an account. No helpful errors, dead-end states. It was as terrible as terrible could be.

Then I tried signing in using my google account. Of course that meant that the login site would crash and would be unusable for the next 5 minutes.

So yeah, not a good first 15 minutes with flickr.

I just went to the homepage on my Android device and tried with both default browser and chrome.

Both correct size and the chrome one also had swipe gestures enabled. http://imgur.com/QYZElnq
