Beginning Monday, some Yahoo Mail users will be able to chat in real time through their e-mail program. Yahoo said in November that it would embed instant-messaging technology directly into its Yahoo Mail program so that users wouldn't have to open up--or even install--Yahoo Messenger or another IM ,service to chat with each other online.
The rollout is set to be phased over several months. Google added chat to Gmail a year ago, but the experience is not as integrated as the new Yahoo Mail chat functionality, Yahoo has said. AOL's AIM Triton offers integrated e-mail, instant messaging, SMS text messaging, and voice and video chat.
BREAKING PRIVACY NEWS! YES I will have a new email soon.
Yahoo has gotten me for the LAST time. Twice in 2 weeks! they have got me!
Today, this is the LAST straw! I logged in today and suddenly in some oblivious little window I start getting yahoo messenger messages from my OLD YM account that I don't use anymore. I hear the "blips" but I don't see any YM page! I didn't log into YM. It's freaking me out! I try logging into Yahoo messenger the traditional way, I log out. I am fracking offline to YM, but still I hear these blips!!! AND EVERYONE SEES ME AS "AVAILABLE" NOT INVISIBLE! NO PRIVACY! x-girlfriends, spammers, etc! so I start closing stuff and minimizing windows and there in the corner under a bunch of stuff is this miniature YM window where my gf is sending me messages asking "Why are you logged into your OLD YM account?" Who are you chatting with? Why won't you talk to me?... All this fracking BS for yahoo?? (see below for further rant) I am done with their BS that is too much BS in one week! I can't believe this is not the talk of the internet! Did I mention, there is no way to turn it off permanently????
But wait, there's more!!...
All this After Last weeks debacle!?? They SECRETLY saved some cookie to my PC that made ME, not everyone, just a select few thousand, change their homepage to "m.yahoo.com". You can't change the **** thing. Suddenly you are going to some other homepage! Its a browser Hijack! But its by Damn Yahoo! I updated my hosts file to not recognize m.yahoo for Fear of compromising my security. Then I had to start using other search services cause MY browser wouldn't recognize plain vanilla yahoo.com I really hated using the Dogpile search engine, I still refused to use google and already had it 127'd in my hosts file, did the same with M.yahoo. After days of this frustration I finally did a search to see if anyone else is having the same problem and Viola! they are! complaints galore! which yahoo just ignores. Seems the M.yahoo.com is triggered by a coookie YAHOO SECRETLY PUTS ON YOUR PC which directs YOU and a select others to some fracking BETA HomePage without your permission!!
Google creates an animated doodle that features a boy, a girl, Google's search engine, and a jump rope. But might there be darker, more analytical, more troubling interpretations to this tale?
The Silicon Valley online payments startup grew by 1,000 percent last year and is hopeful it can repeat that level of growth this year. To do that, it's had to move away from its early friends-and-family roots and embrace small businesses.
