\"ymail\"<\/a>EB and I have been around and on the Web since the days of Windows 95 when computers had 540 MEGABYTE hard-drives and 16 KILOBYTES of RAM. And Yahoo has been around as long as us or longer, but Yahoo Mail has been something we’ve never used — and never well. From security breech to security breech to its terribly bad spam filters, we’ve steered clear of it. Apparently, we’re right again: Yahoo can’t even get its own employees to use Yahoo Mail, though they were practically ordered to use it. That’s right, folks, you’re old buddies TC and EB were pretty much right again — this time about Yahoo Mail.<\/p>\n

Let me ask you a question: Would you eat in a restaurant if you knew its employees would never eat there? They know something you don’t know, as do Yahoo’s employees. We have seen too many horror stories of database breeches and Yahoo turning over information to governments (including the Chinese government) without due process, without a warrant.<\/p>\n

If you use Yahoo Mail and you’re comfortable with it, we’re not trying to change your mind. But staying informed is always the first step in being safe on the Web — I’m just sayin’.<\/p>\n

Clinging to Outlook, Only 25 Percent of Yahoo Employees Willing to Eat Mail \u201cDogfood\u201d (Best Memo Ever!)<\/h3>\n

As most know, I love a good internal memo from inside Yahoo and here\u2019s a doozy related to a rather controversial topic of late: How badly the new version of Yahoo Mail has been received by consumers.<\/p>\n

As has been widely reported, a relentless and vocal group of Yahoo Mail users have been complaining vociferously after the Silicon Valley Internet giant drastically revamped its popular Mail service in October. The ire includes a lot of distress over the removal of its tabs function and the addition of a multi-tasking feature in its place.<\/p>\n

Although change is hard for many, I get buttonholed almost everywhere I go by users \u2014 including some prominent techies \u2014 who complain about the new version.<\/p>\n

Apparently, some Yahoo employees agree, too, with only 25 percent of them heeding management pleas to move over from their longtime corporate email \u2014 Microsoft Outlook \u2014 to the new Yahoo Mail product.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
