Yahoo!™
/ˈjɑːhuː/, /jɑːˈhuː/
/ˈjɑːhuː/, /jɑːˈhuː/
- a website that provides a number of services, including a search engine (= a way of finding information on the internet), news and entertainment information and email. It was founded in California in 1994 by David Filo and Jerry Yang. The name Yahoo! comes from the first letters of the words ‘Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle’. The founders also chose the name because they liked the concept of the Yahoo described in Gulliver's Travels. Yahoo! was one of the most popular websites in the US in the early 2000s but its popularity has declined since then.
