Yahoo is website which we can use for emailing, chatting, search engine, news aggregation and many more.

Yahoo! is website and service providing facilities for emailing, chatting, search engine, news aggregation and other purposes.

Use this tag for questions where Yahoo! is a central element. However, if the question is not really about Ubuntu, then Ask Ubuntu is not the right place for it. A question about Yahoo but not Ubuntu is often on-topic for Web Applications, though.
