Mugisha, i have to agree with you, Yahoo used to be a dominant force, am not sure anymore, the concept of too big to fail no longer applies in today's recession prone global economy (Ask AOL - they used to be the biggest ISP, but .... )
if you look at the financial records of yahoo, you will see some disturbing details, and am no financial expert, i dont even want to point to yahoo shares which trade at $16, in comparison with google's at $ 616 yahoo's new feature (social media integration) is something that can excite many people, certainly not me. Yahoo's intentions are good but skewed, placing a captcha before i send an email, this is not only an unnecessary irritant, but a sheer lack of creativity at solving a basic problem. The captcha is shrouded in unclear colors, and how would a person above 70 years, read those letters, or some one with poor eye sight. You can point to an audio option, what about someone with a hearing disability. This is a dumb inconvenience, and i dont see how it fights spam, maybe am missing something here. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally Liverpool will end the season in the Top Four, with arguably the world's best striker, (El Nino) beginning to rediscover, his form ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ actually its still the biggest mail provider... > and now, if it collapses, i will not mourn, (i will open a bottle > of sparkling water) > i would have said go and implement a better service but i take that back... yahoo really revolutionized the email arena. give credit where credit is due....and it is still a very innovative comapny even better than google (in case you call acquisitions part of Research and development) > > they have this dumb feature, you are trying to send mail, to an address, > then the foolish yahoo mailer asks you to verify if you are a person, they > put in place some lousy captcha > all in an effort of fighting unsolicited mail. > call it dumb but it saves you alot... some times in gmail you accidentally send .... and voilaa its gone... the captcha saves you from the stupid gmail shortcuts ...
