And Yahoo opens a new era : OpenIDs for everyone

Even though the rumors were that Google is gonna do it, Yahoo was one step ahead, for the first time I think and triples the number of OpenID accounts, adding 240 million more

I used to be a big fan of yahoo Mail until I tried to read my mail from Outlook and surprise, surprise... you can get Pop3 and SMTP only with a paid account. With GMAIL worked like a charm. Why can google offer so many great things for free and Yahoo won't, I'll never get?! This is the reason why Yahoo Mail! will never stand up to Gmail. Posted by: NicolasV on January 19, 2008 at 08:52
yahoo started charging for pop access before gmail was real, at the time there were not many options. Now they benefit from stickiness, because people don't like changing email addresses - and that includes me, even if I feel stupid seeing my credit card charged by Yahoo every year...Posted by: Beauty on January 18, 2008 at 10:34
It seems that Yahoo is very active these days, now they are negotiating with a Israel company, Foxy Tunesm, to buy their Firefox plugin that allows user to control their media players from the browserPosted by: NicolasV on January 17, 2008 at 18:58
Yahoo is not a "relying site" yet, so they're not playing completely fair. Still, it's a huge boost for open ID, makes me wonder if we should implement it on ITerating...
