Your Yahoo! Mail service has been improved

You have to love Yahoo!. Exactly 54 seconds after my Google GMail invitation arrived in my Yahoo SPAM folder, I got an email in my Main Yahoo Inbox titled: Your Yahoo! Mail service has been improved.

The new, improved service on Yahoo provides 100MB of storage for free and an option to upgrade to Yahoo! Mail Plus with "virtually unlimited storage" of up to 2GB for $19.99 year.

Necessity is the mother of invention, and in the competitive marketplace, the consumer truly does win out. Hmmm, its almost like there is some invisible hand guiding this! Hilarious.

I thought it was "curious" that Yahoo! automatically put my GMail invitation in the SPAM folder. I guess they could have forwarded it to "/dev/null". But now that I have found the invitation, I can choose to use either service, or both. Either way, I now have more email capacity than I had yesterday, and probably more than I will ever need. But that's what we said when we didn't think we'd ever be able to use more than 640K on a PC, or more than 5MB hard disk drive, or 10GB on an iPod.
