Yahoo! for Yahoo!
just recently, yahoo increased the mailbox size from 4 to 6Mb (depending on how long ago you signed up). now, they give us 100Mb mailboxes! but that is not the only thing that yahoo has been working on. they also have better features for all their sites. now, i haven't looked at everything yet, but what i've seen has made me VERY happy.
you can now SYNCHRONIZE your MS Outlook Calendar, Tasks, Contacts, and Notes with Yahoo!'s similar services, simply by downloading Intellisync (which started with a synchronization manager for Palm) for Yahoo! Be aware, though, of the perils of synchronization, or you'll end up with deleted or duplicated items if you're not careful!
the implications of this service?
1. you'll have an easier time inputting items in Outlook, since you don't have to wait for pages to load every time you need to add or modify something.
2. you can look it up wherever you are!
3. if you have a laptop, you can effectively synchronize these Outlook features with your desktop.
4. with yahoo!'s cool new features, you have the option of letting your friends modify your calendar (so you can make it into your own group thing) or keeping it all to yourself.
5. it is just perfect for taking notes in class (i am daydreaming about owning a laptop right now) in the wi fi-ed buildings and then putting it in the notes page... then syncing it with yahoo! for back up...
bottomline: yahoo! doesn't seem to be slowing down any. stick with it.
