WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: September 13, 2002 What's wrong with Yahoo? -- "For many months now, I have tried interacting with Yahoo, trying to get problems fixed at all levels of their services. I failed to make any headway, and I give up. The only way left for me now is the public route, and I am taking it." (Comments: I think a better title would have been Atul Versus Yahoo. Interesting rant.)

Maybe the spam issue is related to Yahoo's opt-out privacy flap. I'll gladly abandon my yahoo mail account if someone can point me to a comparable service that uses javascript to auto-place my cursor in the login box. (excluding HotMail) Posted by: Jack on September 13, 2002 10:57 PM
Hey Atul, you got the MadMan to thank for this. I didn't post it myself because I know you - conflict of interest and all that... Posted by: MadMan on September 14, 2002 03:30 AM
Yahoo drifted off track years ago. It's now an ugly, cluttered mess and I don't know anyone who regularly uses the main Yahoo directory any more.
Matt brings up something I've believed for a long time. I think it's time for another Webword poll:
a) Never (I thought of quantifying the above, but decided to leave it open for discussion.) What do you say, John? Posted by: MadMan on September 14, 2002 10:19 AM
I think they may have drifted off track on purpose... I'm sure their other service bring in much more $$ any potential then the directory did.. It was just the method that got them popular and off the ground.. I think another poll to go along with Madman's should be... How often do you use any directory now?
