Today I logged into my Yahoo! email account and was pleasantly surprised to see that they have upgraded everyone for free. Seems as though they are trying to catch up to Google, which shows why competition is a good thing. Here is what’s new:
- Increased storage capacity to 100MB
- Increase in total message size to 10MB
- A streamlined interface that’s even easier to use
To be honest the “streamlined interface” is nothing more but a n aesthetic touchup. So if you have failed to get in on the Google Gmail train, head on over to Yahoo and create an account. 100MB is still a good deal.
Yahoo’s trying to catch up? Hmm…If you consider that Yahoo’s actually released a “humongo” web-based email service, and GMail is still vaporware to the general public, then I’d think it’s Google which needs to catch up at this point.
I consider it catching up simply because people will jump onto the better service once its released. Yahoo used to have quality spam blocking but unfortunately it has gotten out of control. People will keep their Yahoo accounts of course, but I think they will start to use their Google ones even more.
I used to have a hotmail account, but the spam got of control their so I switched to Yahoo. Samething will happen with myself and Google.
Want a gmail invite? I have a couple extras.
How in the world did so many people get gmail? By the time I get my hands on one, I’ll end up with me8291_18_dah@gmail.com
