Google already offers web mail in RSS

Google's mail service already offers this functionality through an RSS feed and through Google's new fusion/ personalised home page. When are Yhaoo going to think up something Google isn't already on top of? If we take a look at Yahoo overall with their new concepts, at http://next.yahoo.com you can see where Yahoo attempts to be different. The problem here is that Yahoo are just confusing the consumer. For instance, take Yahoo's Search. They offer so many different ways to search that consumers can't be bothered with the service, they skip and move over to Google, where the search options don't bombard the consumer. Its not that Yahoo are coming out with anything unique, more cluttering up existing web concepts and flooding them with too many features/ options/ different ways to do the same thing. How many people look at http://next.yahoo.com and feel excited or do you cringe and move over to Google, where thigns are more simple and clean, fresh and easy to use... with a minimalistic feel

CNET should research before writing up

"" making the company the first to offer RSS in a major Web-based e-mail system. ""

Google you mean, not Yahoo.
