Yahoo! Acquires Oddpost

Posted by timothy on from the blame-gmail dept.

Well, Yahoo! has acquired Oddpost and will be integrating Oddpost's amazing interface to strengthen its offerings. One might wonder though how to reconcile Oddpost's MSIE requirement with Yahoo!'s (thus far) cross-platform approach. Oh well, at least it will likely put an end to Oddpost's exasperating attempt to be cute in their communication."

    Didn't work for me either. I already have the Windows Media Player plugin and tried faking the User Agent to be IE6 on Windows XP.
