Comments on: PayPal and Picnik come to Yahoo Mail

The latest partners in the Yahoo Open Strategy offer ways to help you make payments from your e-mail inbox--which might keep you inside Yahoo a bit longer.

At this pace, all glaciers would have melted before we see any substantial changes in any Yahoo products.

"The idea is convenience: letting users get everything they need and want in one place."

Yeah - now if I could only get FREE pop3, FREE imap, and be able to completely sync ALL of my Yahoo stuff onto my iPhone...

I LOVE Yahoo's webmail interface (hate Gmail's conversation inbox) - and stuff like this just adds to it. But their competitors offer free pop and imap - and yahoo still makes you pay. Yahoo's calendar opens in new window. So does notes. And I can not wirelessly - or even conveniently sync them all with my iPhone.

Yahoo - you want to beat the competition - do this stuff.

Maybe I don't buy enough stuff online, but let's face it: I don't buy stuff while I'm reading e-mail. And I don't think anyone else should either simply based on the huge security/fraud issues with phishing.

When I want to buy something from Amazon, I won't even click on a link anymore. You visit Amazon.com and find the item from there. Tying in PayPal, Picnick? Smart consumers will be wary of this sort of integration.

The Internet is far more dangerous today than it was ten years ago. PayPal and Picnik integration with Yahoo is not a clear improvement.

Actually this is a big step forward for Yahoo! I love the whole concept and some apps in particular. For example, they've recently added Wrike Simple Projects for team collaboration. Works pretty well for small projects like moving or arranging a family trip.
