Among the best-known names on the Internet, Yahoo was one of the first companies that enabled users to find their way online, but has lost its role as a leader. 

On July 25, Yahoo agreed to sell its core Internet operations to telecom giant Verizon for US$4.8bil (RM19.55bil), capping a long decline from when it had a peak market value of some US$125bil (RM509.31bil) in 2000.
