Oooh…could be kind of cool to play in a Microsoft or Google ff league though, depending on who buys Yahoo. Unless ESPN buys Yahoo…then we’re screwed.

In my experience Hotmail is way worse than Yahoo…I got much more spam on hotmail despite never using it. I use my Yahoo account as my junk email for subscriptions and buying things online (to try to keep my gmail account off marketing lists) and I actually feel like the spam filter works pretty well.

I too look forward to the day I can listen to your music collection from anywhere for free. Actually, I think that should be the next big thing in online music…not being able to go out and find anything you want, but having some kind of music consultant to select the music for you. Part DJ, part personal shopper.

DC Feed folks: Thanks!

Hans: I’m totally with you. I’m willing to put up with the formatting headaches of Google Docs to never have to put up with the compatibility and lack of portability of Office.

I think Yahoo is worse than Hotmail, because Hotmail at least has better spam filtering, but neither one are great. Google just makes it all so damn easy…

Except for Outlook, I’ve switched all my office-y business to OpenOffice and Google Docs, and I don’t miss MSOffice one little bit.

On a related note: I think Hotmail could give Yahoo a run for its money in the “Worst Free Email Ever” category.
