Have you seen the Yahoo Mail Beta?

Now that is well done!

I think it’s brilliantly done with AJAX.
Drag and drop, the works.

Makes Gmail look almost primitive

The new Yahoo! home page looks pretty snazzy too.

Try using the “Find on Map” feature and see why Yahoo! local gets 4 times the traffic as Google local. Try stuff like kinkos, fedex, dennys etc. and be pleasantly surprised!!

Wow. Thanks for the tip on this. It really is better, in most ways. I some how like the Google interface better though, as it is more clean. But the features really do kick butt. And I guess it is in beta, so from now on, Yahoo is my maps and search of choice.

But, I gotta admit that strangely, I still use Google for searches, simply because it is maybe simpler. Only when I’m not getting the results I need, I would go to Yahoo to redo my search, and then get the results I need. I guess this happens just because of habit.
