Iconic Yahoo Messenger to shut down on July 17

Q13. Identify the company that created products like Flickr and Game Neverending. It was founded in 2002 by Stewart Butterfield, Caterina Fake and Jason Classon and was bought by Yahoo! in 2005.

Iconic instant messaging application, Yahoo Messenger is scheduled to shut down on July 17.

All current users will be migrated to Yahoo's new messaging app, Squirrel.

Users will be given six months to download their chat history, before the servers are made unavailable to the public.

It’s been a fun ride, but Yahoo Messenger is logging off for the last time.

Peace out. ✌️ https://t.co/UFMi0efhMl pic.twitter.com/4aMXppb9cZ
