Yahoo sucks
Web 2.0 January 31st, 2007
Got this (below) in my inbox this morning, telling my I *have* to swap to a Yahoo signin to use Flickr. Besides being annoying, it’s next to near on impossible to get a Yahoo id that is anything close to id’s you use elsewhere, I mean how many people could possibly have Yahoo accounts with my name in them? duncanriley, duncanriley1, duncanriley2…were all taken, as were my usual business name logins of nichenet etc… I’m wont abandon Flickr because I like it too much, but it’s tempting given it took me 15 minutes to change a login that I’d previously used without any problems for years. You suck, Yahoo.
Dear Old Skool Account-Holding Flickr Member,
On March 15th we’ll be discontinuing the old email-based Flickr sign in system. From that point on, everyone will have to use a Yahoo! ID to sign in to Flickr.
We’re making this change now to simplify the sign in process in advance of several large projects launching this year, but some Flickr features and tools already require Yahoo! IDs for sign in — like the mobile site at m.flickr.com or the new Yahoo! Go program for mobiles, available at: http://go.yahoo.com.
95% of your fellow Flickrites already use this system and their experience is just the same as yours is now, except they sign in on a different page. It’s easy to switch: it takes about a minute if you already have a Yahoo! ID and about five minutes if you don’t.
You can make the switch at any time in the next few months, from today till the 15th. (After that day, you’ll be required to merge before you continue using your account.) To switch, start at this page:
http://flickr.com/account/associate/
Nothing else on your account or experience of Flickr
changes: you can continue to have your FlickrMail and notifications sent to any email address at any domain and your screenname will remain the same.Complete details and answers to most common questions are available here:
http://flickr.com/help/signin/
Thanks for your patience and understanding - and even bigger thanks for your continued support of Flickr: if you’re reading this, you’ve been around for a while and that means a lot to us!
Warmest regards,
- The Flickreenos
For lots of boring pics my Flickr pics can be found here.

Yahoo sucks!
Fuck you, yahoo!
Assholes all, Yahoo.
Originally you offered free email and we knew what our cost was in limited ads and bullshit. Now you have outraged your constituents and are pure shit!
Your ads and popups and flash bullshit has made your address absolutely useless.
For your advertizers: I WILL NEVER USE ANY OF YOUR SERVICES OR PRODUCTS! I will use another, or go WITHOUT, you fuckers.
It is grossly inconventient to have to change email addresses, but better that than continue to deal with the aggravation you cause!

I am writing to provide a feed back for my fellow friends and who ever likes to open an account or use any paid service in yahoo, it truly suck
i opend a yahoo beta on 1st of June and sent emails to my personal contacts, suddently the account stopped functioning and my follow up with their in-competent (although its look like it is the yahoo technology that is bad not the contact center) was unsuccessful, they kept sending apology email and keep sayin every thing is in noraml shape while is was not!, their servr kept sending email to my contact saying my account is discontinued or disabled
I dont recommend yahoo and will never use any service from them again, use them if you want to loose your credability over email communcation

Yahoo and all online chat blows serious ass. The problem is that the NWO cannot allow free and open discourse and is squashing it any chance they get.

I was a user of MusicMatch Jukebox. I especially liked their Super Tagging feature, so much that I
purchased their “All Future Versions” at a premium price. Along comes Yahoo, who purchases
MMJB. Despite my pleas that they were obligated to honor prior contracts, they screwed me royally!

Yahoo! lacks social ethics. They puff self-destructive celebrities as a modern version of the elephant man. No different than the carnival owners who exploited Mr. Merrick. They have moved to the tabloid side.
Google respects their customers. And I appreciate that.
