Remember Yahoo?
Well, considering Yahoo’s search engine market share is under 2% market globally, you aren’t alone if you don’t.
However, just like other search engines, Yahoo makes it super easy to browse through tons of videos.
What’s interesting is that although Bing powers Yahoo’s search results, you won’t get the same video results if you enter the same keyword on both platforms.
