mmm yahoo... my worst enemy and best friend... for... more than half my life... i have the same account i had when i was 13... now i am 29.. .to give it up would be giving up an important part of my past as i have tons of old emails saved and papers from college
needless to say they have the weakest spam wall in existance (whether that is due to incompetance or making money through spammers is up in the air... possibly both) and in the past couple of months it has gotten weaker still... also they confuse real mail with spam so much its not even funny ... another possible effort to increase direction to spammers.. yes they change their site alot and the newest update always seems to be worse than the old model... this current one they run loads emails 1/10 as fast as the older model
however the home page is my favorite, it keeps me informed, they do great articles through their site with huff post/ap/reuters and the like, the search feature has less ads and from mostly unscrupulous websites unlike google, its linked to my inbox dollars account so every two searches i do earns me $0.01 which adds up over time, the company seems less of an evil empire than google/apple/microsoft because they do not make operating or business software, computers, game systems, or cell phones... as such they could not care less what platform is used to access the site which is quite freeing... and probably the most important thing of all is the name... how can you not like "yahoo" for a name?
in sum the benefits out weigh the consequences though not by an especially wide margin
