It looks like they are trying to level-up to Gmail's reputation.
The thing is that at the moment @yahoo.com is the best source of anonymous disposable email addresses. I'm sure they realize that and I suspect they will be taking steps to "rectify" this situation by trying to tie an address to an identity. It'd be interesting to see how that unfolds. Shouldn't be long now.
- laumars 14y agoIronically they used to be. I've not used Yahoo mail in 10 or 15 years, but back in the late 90s your Yahoo mail ID was the same identity for all of Yahoo's services. In fact quite a number of search engines modeled themselves in this (search, mail, online chat, etc - all using the same single sign on). Then Google came along and reminded those search engines that many users just want a plain and responsive search engine. And those portals closed. Lycos shut down their free hosting, Yahoo closed their chat sites, and so no. And now we have Google integrating chat, mail, and all manor of other things into their search engine. It's funny how trends come full circle.
