Next Steps: The Evolution of Yahoo Groups (Final Notification)

Dear Group Moderators and Members, Last month we notified you of the changes coming to Yahoo Groups that better align with user habits, and today we are providing an update to guide you through the next steps of the transition. Yahoo Groups is not going away - but we are making adjustments to ultimately serve you better. We are amazed at the vibrant community you've created through Yahoo Groups and we want to make sure you feel supported as we introduce these changes. The following changes were made since our last communication:    •   Users can now only join a Yahoo Group through an invite or group request approval by the Group Moderator.    •   New Groups can't be public. They can only be private (not listed in Groups directory, membership by invitation only) or restricted (listed in Groups directory, membership requests must be approved by a Group Moderator).    •   Members must share all content via email, and can no longer upload or host new content on the Yahoo Groups website itself. The following changes will be made on December 14, 2019:    •   Public groups will no longer exist. All existing public Groups will become restricted Groups that require Group Moderator approval to join.    •   Any content that was previously uploaded via the website will be removed. If you would like to keep any of the content you've posted or stored within your Yahoo Group, please download it by December 14 by accessing the Groups Download Manager at this link. Once you provide your preferred email address, we will send you a confirmation of your download request and notify you once the download is complete. You will receive a link to a downloadable zip file via email for each of your Groups organized into a separate folder. Download time varies depending on the amount of information and file size. If your download request is made by 11:59pm PST on Saturday, December 14, 2019, your content will not be deleted until your download is complete. We are unable to accommodate any download requests made after this deadline. This is the final reminder to download your content. You can find additional information about the upcoming changes here. We have worked extensively with our customer support team to develop recommendations for tools that can help you with any download issues. See help article here. We have watched the evolution of Yahoo Groups with awe, as we grew to a community of millions with over 10 million Groups. Every day, we witness the power of community and shared passions, and our mission is to provide a platform for the strong connections people make with each other around their interests. We thank you for being part of the Yahoo Groups community and look forward to continuing to provide ways for you to connect with one another about your shared interests and passions. Sincerely, The Groups Team     Privacy Policy | Terms of Service | Customer Support 701 First Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94089 ©2019 Yahoo

Yahoo Groups - Upcoming Product Changes to Yahoo Groups

Dear Group Moderators and Members, Thank you for your commitment to Yahoo and for helping us define the power of digital communities. Eighteen years ago, we combined the functionality of a site called eGroups.com with a precursor community platform called Yahoo Clubs to launch Yahoo Groups. Since then, you and millions of others have helped prove our hypothesis, by creating and joining more than 10 Million groups. A lot has changed about the Internet since 2001, including the ways most people now use Yahoo Groups. Today, most Yahoo Groups activity happens in your email inbox, not on the bulletin boards where Yahoo Groups started in the pre-smartphone age. Increasingly, people want content and connections coming directly to them, and this is why we continue to invest in Yahoo Mail -- including the recent launch of a new Yahoo Mail app that is currently the highest-rated email app in the App Store and Google Play. So, as our users' habits have evolved, we have begun the process of evolving our approach to help active Yahoo Groups thrive and migrate to our email platform. To help you plan for these changes, below is the schedule of how this transition will happen. Beginning October 28, 2019: Users will be able to join a Yahoo Group only through an invite from the Group Moderator or by submitting a request to join a Group, which requires approval by the Group Moderator. Since we are moving Group communication from posting on message boards to email distribution, uploading and hosting of new content will also be disabled on the Yahoo Groups website. Beginning December 14, 2019: All Groups will be made private and any content that was previously uploaded via the website will be removed. We believe privacy is critical and made this decision to better align with our overall principles. If you would like to keep any of the content you've posted or stored in the past within your Yahoo Group, please download it by December 14 by accessing this link. As these dates get closer, we will send follow-up reminders. More information about the upcoming changes can be found here. While this evolution of Yahoo Groups is inspired by how we see the platform being used today, we know change can be difficult. Here are a few important facts as we make this transition: 1. Yahoo Groups is not going away - We know that our users are deeply passionate about connecting around shared interests, and we are evolving Groups to better align with how you use it today. 2. New groups can still be formed - Users can continue to connect with others around their common bonds and interests. From animal rescues to sporting and activity groups, civic organizations to local PTAs, members of our Yahoo Groups will remain connected and able to share their activities and interests. All of the content that you have shared previously on the website, can continue to be shared via email. We know that Yahoo Groups is an important online extension of your real-life group of friends, interests and communities, and we are committed to supporting communities that rely on Yahoo Groups. Thanks for coming along with us this far. We look forward to seeing where the technology -- and you -- take us in the decades to come. Sincerely, The Groups Team     Privacy Policy | Terms of Service | Customer Support ©2019 Yahoo 701 First Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94089

Let me tell you - this Consumer feels a business should be required to pay all their employee(s) and sevice personell a decent wage and NOT expect their customers to do it for them by charging mandatory tips. The whole premise for tipping is to reward a service person for a job well done - placing raw meat, fish, or chicken in the same bag as produce, cold cuts, or paper goods is not my idea of a job well done and I for one will not tip - and if tipping becomes mandatory I will no longer offer my allegiance to shop at said establishment.

The company is able to track purchases down to the UPC bar code level.   People start to wake up to the pervasive third-party tracking It will hardly be news to readers of this site that mobile apps are tracking us on a massive scale. And yet a story in the New York Times last month about how apps are routinely monitoring users and their geographical position seems to have shocked many. Indeed, Los Angeles prosecutors were moved by the news to sue the operators of the Weather Channel app, which is owned by IBM.   A quick and dirty guide to winning with Gmail ads Email marketers love to brag about how email marketing is still one of the most effective digital marketing mediums. But what if you don't happen to have tens of thousands of emails on hand? Or what if you want to get into the inboxes of new potential customers without…you know, breaking the law?   How to Create Amazing Remarketing Funnels: 5 Tips You Need to Know If you have a remarketing strategy using "Target and Bid" audiences with both positive and negative audience bid modifiers you can shape your remarketing strategy to drive traffic across the decision journey.   10 Conversion Optimization Tips to Increase Your Sales Congratulations, you have created the world's greatest new product or service. You have hired a world-class sales team, found product market fit, worked hard to obtain paying customers, and are distributing content via email and social to the ideal audience.   Affiliate & AdTech News:   What to expect for affiliates in 2019 Influencer marketing is becoming a much more established marketing technique in the affiliate world, with companies allocating funds towards celebrity endorsement of their products. Affiliates who ignore the strategy will find themselves lagging behind others who are more innovative in their approach, however the strategy may not be all it is said to be.   Affiliate marketing trends – the future looks bright! Staying on top of affiliate marketing trends is a full time job. If you want to maximise your ROI and stand out against your competitors, you need to be ready to change the way you think and operate in this channel. Here are my three key insights around what will influence affiliate marketing in 2019.   Cinven Invests in Ad-Tech Outfit RTB House Private equity investment in ad tech continued to gather steam with today's announcement that Cinven has agreed to take a stake in Poland-based RTB House. It's the latest in a long line of similar deals.   How Ad-Tech Is Fighting Bot Fraud The net is closing in on fraudsters preying on the online advertising industry with indictments brought against those allegedly involved in perpetrating such crimes in recent years, notably the recent 3ve case is a high profile example...   Tech Giants News:   Amazon's New Ad-Supported Video Channel Freedive Could Challenge Facebook And Google Amazon's release Thursday at CES of a free, ad-supported streaming video channel called IMDB Freedive could provide an opportunity for the digital giant to exhibit its targeting capabilities and pose a real threat to the Facebook-Google duopoly.   Amazon enables dynamic bidding, bid adjustments for Sponsored Products ads Amazon has added more bid management features for Sponsored Products ads in its advertising interface. The updates take a page from the Google Ads interface, so paid search marketers will be familiar with both the automated bidding option and the page placement report Amazon has rolled out.   Why Facebook Ads Don't Work For Most Coaches​ Everyone is doing Facebook ads. Or so it seems for most coaches. 92% of businesses advertise on Facebook, yet 62% of them reportedly fail to make money from ads. It seems only a handful of players make money through ads.   Facebook is looking to Instagram for the future of digital ads​ Advertisers are not leaving Facebook. But lots of them are migrating from Facebook proper to another platform it owns: Instagram. One analyst estimates that ads on Instagram will account for 70 percent of Facebook's new revenue by 2020. And the most exciting thing for the company is Stories, the little posts that expire after 24 hours.   Adblock News:   Google Claims Chrome AdBlock Has Improved Websites Last year, an update to the Google Chrome browser saw adblocking features added. While these did not specifically prevent adverts from appearing on websites, it did look to change those that did appear...   Ad blocking is still a 'substantial threat to publisher revenue streams'​ Ad blocking, which caused mild hysteria in 2016, no longer grabs as many headlines but is still a substantial threat on a publisher's bottom line, encouraging companies to diversify revenue sources and collaborate across the industry.   Blockchain News:   Google Bans Ethereum Ads Decenter, a smart contract auditing firm, has come forward with a claim that Ethereum has been banned by Google On AdWords, its advertising platform. This comes months after Google lifted the ban on Cryptocurrency and blockchain-related ads altogether.   The End of Ad Fraud? A Radical Transparency Awaits the Digital Advertising Industry How much havoc does ad fraud wreak on digital advertisers? The founders of Ad Tech startup tribeOS are exhibit one. Collectively, their online businesses lost millions to fraudulent clicks, spambots and phantom views. The human cost was greater still. Businesses ruined, jobs lost, and it almost ended a life. All while the digital ad industry sat and did nothing.   Other News:   Brave browser can now show ads What if online ads weren't the distracting, privacy-invading, malware-laced, battery-gobbling mess they've become? What if they could even fund worthy websites? That's what startup Brave hopes to accomplish with a major new phase of its browser business.   Mobile games are becoming more attractive advertising ground​ Mobile gamers represent 88.8% of digital gamers spanning all ages and by the end of 2019, 147.8 million US mobile device owners will be playing games on their phones. That's in contrast to 91 million using digital consoles to play games. Games also continue to evolve rapidly on mobile with some of the biggest apps now being game apps. At the same time, this offers multiple opportunities for brand marketers and advertisers through in-app ads and rewarded advertising formats.

The video gets tons of views. Good on the competitor. You, not so much.   Home page traffic will no longer be the measure of your digital success Homepage traffic has been the gold standard for measuring digital marketing success for almost two decades. Marketers have optimized organic and paid search strategies to drive consumers to a brand's homepage, which digital directors structured to move visitors into an on-site experience that ended in a transaction — a purchase, a webinar registration, a job application, a newsletter sign-up, an in-store visit, or another type of conversion.   6 Landing Page Mistakes That Are Killing Your Conversions Your product is outstanding, your business is ready, and you're driving dozens of leads to your landing pages. There's only one problem: those customers aren't converting. They land on a page, click around, and then leave. You're left watching your marketing ROI drop as more and more customers land on your pages and bounce in confusion.   Affiliate & AdTech News:   Evolution of ad tech in 2019: Streaming services and content ownership Heading into 2019, I predict this will be another year of consolidation across the media landscape. From IPG buying Acxiom Marketing Solutions to WPP's move to merge J. Walter Thompson with Wunderman, to AT&T acquiring Time Warner Inc., there have been a multitude of mega-deals in the media business, this past year, which had a lot do with years of growth hitting the walls of reality.   What to Expect in Affiliate Marketing in 2019 2018 was quite a year to remember (or forget, depending on your sentiments). In the world of affiliate marketing, 2018 saw a new level of maturity in this marketing channel; from the take-over of Influencer marketing, to brands truly working with their reps to create content, and a growing share of the e-commerce marketplace.   Tech Giants News:   3 things you should know about Google paid ads Every business with an online presence wants customers to quickly come across their site when they search on Google. The search engine comprises of millions of pages that makes it very competitive to have a particular page ranked high and on the first page of the search engine.   Facebook tracks Android users even if they don't have a Facebook Account Facebook's data collecting practices have once again been called into question, after a new report revealed that it "routinely tracked" people who do not use the app. Privacy International analysed 34 apps on the Android mobile operating system with user bases of between 10 and 500 million.   Could Facebook be broken up in 2019? Facebook's essential facility is unclear – is it a social network; a publisher of video, text, pictures and games; a communications service; or an advertising agency?   Which Company Has The Best Code Quality Between Google, Apple, Microsoft and Amazon? I have worked at Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Oracle (among others). Code quality is a funny thing. In my opinion, it's situational.....   Microsoft closes out 2018 as the top public company Microsoft has not had a tremendous quarter. But it has still succeeded in regaining a coveted title: most valuable public U.S. company by market cap. And even though Microsoft's product announcements still might not rivet the public like Apple's keynotes, the company has moved forward in measurable ways in 2018, following years of transition under CEO Satya Nadella.   Blockchain News:   Comcast moves forward with blockchain-based advertising platform US cable and entertainment giant Comcast's cable advertising division has launched what it describes as the next phase of an industry initiative to create a secure way to use data and share information based on blockchain technology.   Blockchain – World-Changing Technology in Advertising Frauds in advertising can be efficiently avoided using the blockchain technology. Companies who are paying are doing so to engage their prospective customers at least for a few minutes. They pay for the engaged minutes; however, there are tales of false engagements in the advertising industry.   Other News:   20 expert predictions: Here's what successful marketers will do in 2019 From automation, email, data, analytics, voice, augmented reality and content management – as well as PPC for large and small business – our community of contributors share their expertise to help you step up your game in 2019.   Advertisers: You're overpaying for inventory DSPs get paid a tech fee based on the percentage of spend and therefore have zero incentive to help you spend less in their platform.
