Yahoo Ups Mail to Match Google's Gig

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-good-for-them dept.

Bruce Young writes "Yahoo said late Tuesday that it will provide 1 gigabyte of storage for each free e-mail account. The current limit is 250 megabytes. The expanded storage which will be available in mid-April will enable Yahoo to catch up with online search engine leader Google. "

    They still won't be as good as Google.. stop trying!

    I disagree from a business perspective.

    Lots of people will stay with yahoo mail because it is difficult to switch. If there is no benefit, then there is little reason to make the switch in the first place.

    Competition is good. Now, they will start competing on other features and the consumer wins in the end.
