Yahoo mail and groups have have become an integral part of my work, as I am sure it has been with large populations worldwide. It's been reliable and convenient.
In the past two weeks or so, however, it's been performing erratically. The home page, or the mail, or the groups, or parts of these, won't load. It's becoming quite frequent, and frustrating. And I haven't seen any advisory from yahoo of what is happening. I think an advisory should stay right at the top of its feaured section in the home page, and remin there until the situation is addressed adequately.
On the positive side I get to blog.
Well that's market for us yahoo users. Yahoo's been quite successful, and congestion must at certain points be increasing at a rate that is more than its technical capacity or upgrade. It may be said that competition is tough, and glitches like this can trigger out-migration until a new equilibrium is reached. But there is some lock-in, and out-migration is not really that simple. We have our e-mail addresses and e-mail history all stored in yahoo; it takes time to learn alternative providers; for e-groups we need to notify and consult before decisions are made.
And so we hang on until yahoo fixes itself, but it better be soon.
