Yahoo! Mail Beta Now Open to All
Thursday, September 14, 2006
Yahoo! has just released their new, AJAX-powered version of Yahoo! Mail to all United States users and in 18 international markets. Giving a more desktop-like experience, the new version utilizes the innovative technology that it gained when the search giant acquired Oddpost, such as drag-and-drop functionality, an instant preview pane and an upgraded searching tool. The new Yahoo! Mail also features an integrated RSS-reader and calendar. However, the company hasn't commented on when it plans to make this new version the default version of Yahoo! Mail.*On a side-note: Sorry about the lack of posting going on, I've been sick in bed with the flu and Joe has been stuck inside a virtual world for the past week (They're trying to get him out right now). Hopefully, we'll return to normal coverage of the technology world next week. Thanks for bearing with us!

Sid: The Yahoo! Mail Beta program was always limited to a number of beta testers. Luckily, I was part of that group and I've been able to access the beta program for months. However, it was never open to everyone - That's what this release is all about ;-). Great techie blog by the way, I see you were accepted into the Blogger Beta program!
Siddhartha Gandhi: I would of spent my sickly hours on the computer, but I was having migraines and watching a computer screen was starting to make it worse.

Alex,
I see what you mean. I was also part of yahoo beta and I thought it was open to all but it was not. Now I am using blogger beta and I like it, but I don't like yahoo beta they still need to work on speed part. It takes time to load mails, but otherwise it is a nice try.
