Yahoo Changes User Profiles, To Massive Outrage

Wiseleo writes "Yahoo decided to massively screw up their entire userbase by changing all user profiles to blank. No warning, no automated way to get data back, and other unwanted changes. The blog has such choice quotes as 'We know this has been a rough transition for some of you and, and are committed to helping you use, understand, and (hopefully) enjoy your new profile,' and, 'We also know lots of you worked hard on your old profiles and want your data. If you feel like you're missing data, we've saved a copy of your old profile (and alias) and our Customer Care team can retrieve this information. You won't, however, be able to revert back to your old profile format, but you will be able to get any data that you think is missing. To do this, please go here to contact Customer Care.' There were 850 comments posted, all negative, on the first day. There are hundreds more today. There is even more outrage on the Yahoo Messenger blog."

Wow, a first post worthy of an insightful moderation? I thought I would never see the day.

Anybody who uses Yahoo deserves what they get.

The first time I installed SBC DSL, I allowed the stupid Yahoo software on my machine, which at the time was running Windows 98. It crashed the entire OS, and I had to restore my Registry to get it back.

Fuck Yahoo and anyone stupid enough to use them. That applies to AOL and AOL users, and MSN and MSN users, too.

Thank god Chauncey is dead ... walking on water must forever remain a secret.

If Chauncey was on yahoo, then PuppetPOTUS Bush's overlords would have forced yahoo to report Chauncey's secret as a potential weapon of global terrorist. Then the Overlords of Subversion would have used Chauncey's secret to rule the world.

Remember "Pinky and the Brain"... well Pinky is nothing like PPOTUS Bush, but "The Brain" looks like a close blood relative of DickUS Chaney and CrawlUpUS Rove.

Anyway, I always wanted to meet a/o "Just Watch" Chauncey, but today I am relieved that Chauncey cannot be exploited for megalomaniacal gains over US "The People".
