Who would get the Yahoo domain name?<p>Because if you spin off say, Mail, News and Games from Yahoo, all have depended on the yahoo.com domain name for their SEO and traffic.<p>Could news.yahoo.com do well if it lost all its rankings because its domain name was kept by the remains of the main company?  What about Yahoo Mail?  It&#x27;s likely one of the more popular parts of their business, but if it was spun off, then everyone would likely lose their email address. Not great for existing users.<p>Flickr and Tumblr could easily return to being independent though.
