Yahoo! Messenger today became history as the web service provider put it to rest after a long run of around 20 years. The messenger server will remain active for another six months so that users can download their chat history.

The company also stated that Yahoo IDs will remain the same for other services like Mail, fantasy sports, etc. Though parent company Verizon didn’t provide its users any explanation, rising competition seems to be the reason behind the step. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
