It's stupid for yahoo to do it because they are at a different stage in their products life cycle than Google is. Yahoo is no longer the young, hip kid on the block. People shrug when I tell them I use a yahoo email account (which is 100% why I still use it). The market share that yahoo mail has is far more fragile than gmail's.

I use it because I got that email address in about 1997 when I could still get [email protected]. I can't get rid of it for that reason.

I can understand that. Luckily, my last name isn't that common. Though I had to go with steven instead of steve with gmail. Steve was already taken.
