We knew it was coming: the Yahoo Directory is now officially offline. Going to dir.yahoo.com now redirects you to aabacosmallbusiness.com.

Yahoo has closed down one of the most historic and prominent sites in the history of the internet. Once thought of as the Google of the internet, the directory is no longer to be found, in any sense.

Now when you go to the Yahoo Directory, you see this:

yahoo-dreictory-aabaco

Before? It looked like this:

yahoo-small-business-directory-1419859285

Late last year, Yahoo began redirecting sub-sections internally within the Yahoo Directory to the Aabaco site, but now even the home page of the Yahoo Directory is gone.
