This is just the first of a long line of sites that are going to shut down in the next year or so. In the last six months I have seen the addition of some of the most in your face adds from companys that I would not buy from for any amount of savings. The Internet is going to go through a major change like it did about ten years ago, but this time I think it is going to be just madding to users . Just here in the last few months the cable company we have has moved high speed users over to a single pipe, this is for a large City and the surrounding area and towns. But the price has stayed the same for much less service. They have halved the size of the space that they sell without warning and are upping the price. This is what happens when you let one company get a solid lock on an area. One good thing about this is a whole lot of what I call fly by night sites and video sites will go away. One can only hope that in the end it will get better for all the users. But if we do not stick together they the company's will just have there way with us.
Maybe because yahoo groups being a gigantic cluster-fuck is hardly news to anyone whose ever used them?
Seriously, what are you talking about?
This Yahoo press release is contradictory and will undoubtably anger many a Slashdot reader.
