Etymology
Yahoo! comes from Jonathan Swift's book, where a yahoo is a 'rude, wild' creature, so the name feels loud and attention-grabbing. A helpful way to remember the web company is that it chose this excited, shout-like word as a brand, which is why Yahoo! feels like a big, friendly exclamation for news and search.
