Some years ago I was a regular user of Ymail and Yahoo.com. But today I do not use it because it's very pathatic to browse Yahoo because it is no longer a compitator of Google but it has become more blogging site. To keep the page views to the magical number it is using different pictures and putting them in the slideshow. The pictures are something which people will like to see, specially the younger genaration like me. But I do not, because Yahoo is no more an innovative company and at the same time it has transformed into a blogging company. Oh! Yes, it also publishes news too but not from it's own journalists but from different news agencies. I think they should recruit more journalist than developers to maintain their page views now it is having. Sorry, because not only the news but the mail contribute a large chunk of the page views from that service around 48% according to Alexa.com. But I do not use Y! Mail too because I think Gmail is more safe than Yahoo!. Gmail has included two step verification and at the same time they have included one more type of security verification i.e. apps specific password to keep the hackers at bay which you will not have to remember, just copy and paste in the password box go your BB or apple mail. Yahoo has also included the 2 step verification in reply, but it is still in a beta stage and it has no application specific password. It will be good for Yahoo to see AOL as it's competitor not Google. The Gmail UI is far better than Ymail. The Gmail UI is like that any one who started using internet can use it flawlessly but the last one's very confusing. But Yahoo has large number of users which help them to lure more advertisers. The Yahoo search is another flop product from Yahoo because is shows less search when you type a keyword. I think Google more user friendly and very accurate than Yahoo search. The partnership with Bing (another flop product from Microsoft) is also not going to Yahoo much to get back it's lost glory to Google. I remembers that day when the Google founder Mr.Larry had gone to Yahoo to sell it's developed code for a throw away price.
