    3. known_Id says:

      even though, the relationship has past 1.5 years, yahoo is yet to list all those data which callezee has, on one hand one can say it may be a failure on the part of yahoo executives to get the work done out of callezee or it may also be a case where callezee has got the initial investments in their pocket and not bothering to pay in return. Overall looks like its a murky deal!!!
