Yahoo! Fires Back at Gmail Today when I logged into my Yahoo! Mail Account I was greeted with this happy message: Dear Yahoo! Mail User, Thanks for using Yahoo! Mail. It's our goal to offer you an email experience that makes it easy and enjoyable to stay in touch. Periodically, we make service changes to enhance that experience for our users. As of June 15, 2004, you'll enjoy the following benefits: * Increased storage capacity - from your current level to 100MB * Increase in total message size to 10MB * A streamlined interface that's even easier to use You will continue to access your Yahoo! Mail account as usual. No further action is required, and there will be no interruption of your service. We hope you enjoy the new features and benefits. If you have any questions, please visit our Help page. Thanks again for using Yahoo! Mail. Sincerely, The Yahoo! Mail Team So - they've increased email storage capacity and increased the size of the emails I can send. The streamlined interface so appears to be some minor tweaking of the GUI, but mostly a reduction in the amount of graphical ads. Yahoo! is still running the leaderboard banner at the top, but now they are have text links in the left-hand nav where they used to have small graphical ads. As I stated a few weeks ago in my review of Gmail, I still prefer Yahoo! Mail over what Google is providing. So Yahoo! really didn't have to do anything to keep my business. However, the changes Yahoo! has implemented are nice. The free email war is heating up and already I'm benefiting. Perfect. posted by Brendan | 8:55 AM | permanent link |
