Second looks
After a long period of giving up on My Yahoo! I’m back giving it a second look. I like what I see. I don’t know if it’s just where I am in my life right now or if Yahoo! has managed to tweak its portal offering to finally be of use to me but I think I’m going to be using this for a while.
The same thing goes for my GMail account. I started using GMail and found it to be very handy for an email account to receive mail from the mailing lists I belong to. Some of these can really overwhelm my regular email account so GMail was a godsend for these items but after a while I pretty much stopped checking this mail everyday.
However, GMail now supports POP3. So I can download this mail to Thunderbird with the rest of my personal mail and have my GMail available to me offline. So I’m back to using GMail and loving it.
Maybe it’s time for you to look back over at some of the services offered on the web and see which one’s have come up in quality enough to really make them attractive to you to use again. It might surprise you.
