Sometimes at work, I need to link to a generic URL because our authoring tool is funky (welcome to Microsoft, here's your accordion), and in order to create the link you ACTUALLY want (usually to a settings page within Windows, or to launch an app), it's easier to make a link to anywhere and then edit the link in source. For no reason at all I use Yahoo.
This is literally the only time I even *think* of Yahoo in my day to day life anymore.
