Comments from those that selected Yahoo Mail as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2008

  • “for email” Daniel O’Shea
  • “My private email accounts are both through Yahoo. Convenient, easy to use, and free (apart from the monthly broadband fees, of course). I’m torn between deciding whether it is a blessing or a curse that I can’t access my emails offline. Much as I feel deprived, I suspect it’s probably a Good Thing!” Karyn Romeis
  • “with integrated feed reader (free) – The new version of yahoo mail is great. Email in general is an indispensible facilitator of eLearning. The integrated feed reader is handy in that I don’t need to navigate to a separate reader (such as google reader) to view my feeds. I find feeds are a great way of keeping up to date with what’s going on in the world, paticularly in the eLearning/technology sector” Karen OBrien

Comments from those that selected Yahoo Mail as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2007

  • “For my personal email account. My previous private email account got so splattered with spam that I switched. After a few years, the spammers are slowly finding me again, but the built in filter seems to work pretty well. As an expat far from home with family and friends spread across the world, my personal email is critical to my sanity.” Karyn Romeis
  • “My favourite email account service. I have been using it for ages and it usually works with no problems. The new version has brought some new functionalities which are quite practical, such as to be able to chat with whom from your contacts is in Yahoo! Messenger without logging in to it. The RSS feed feature is also a good idea, although I am not using it that much these days.” Cristina Costa
