Yahoo Tries to Improve Your Inbox

Jamie found a story about Yahoo's plans to improve your inbox by incorporating more information into the sorting. Simple thread order or chronological order ignores tons of information that might be available on social networking websites. That way your friends will be more prominently displayed. Automating this could beat the hell out of a hundred lines of procmail recipes.

  1. Great, another billboard in my Email by denis-The-menace · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Gotta love how Yahoo keeps on adding layers to *prevent* you from getting to your email.

    As it is now:
    -You login
    -you get a customizable billboard that lets you preview (but not touch) your email.
    -You must click "Email" to get to your email.
    -It then opens a new window or tab with your email to keep the Ads intact and *hopefully* in your view.

    I can't wait to see how this *new Feature* will enhance the billboard and make my email that much slower and harder to use.
