Yahoo Mail now Talks to Live Users
Even though I mostly use Gmail embedded Google Talk most often as it’s faster, more transient, and I have more friends on Gmail, Yahoo embedded mail chat is also cool if you are into serious chat and want some friendly interface. Today logging into my Yahoo Mail account I could see several changes coming:
- Yahoo Chat with Live users: This is both good and bad. Good as a technical milestone, good that I no longer have any reason to open Live messenger. Bad because they keep pushing away from the standard XMPP protocol, and because now more people can catch me online unaware :).
2. Useful information identification: Basically a copy of Google Address verification and a map link to it.
3. New Fresh nicer interface
Still though, no matter how much Yahoo Mail improves, every time I login I just look at this guy and wonder
Who the hell came up with this figure? Couldn’t they find anything more live, more appealing, more non-idiot look. He is just ugly square T-Shirt guy. Company as big and famous as Yahoo should be able to come up with more catchy character, and if they can’t, then don’t come up with one at all! I really miss Microsoft good old clippy now.
