Today I checked my email at 6AM and Yahoo Mail was up and running, then it went down and has been down for over an hour. What is up yahoo? The fact that I still use Yahoo’s web based email service may make me a little behind on times. It seems that most people who use web mail have moved to Google or just use their own mail server.

Is it time to migrate over to Gmail? Or use some other solution. I like Yahoo Mail because I am familiar with it and I like the classic interface they offer. I have been using Yahoo mail for about 9 years or so. I must be afraid to switch over or something.

The fact that their mail service has had a lot of glitches (at least on my end) lately, is almost reason enough to abandon Yahoo.

Using a web based email service has a lot of benifits for someone like me. I can check my email from any PC without any major worry of security. Most people know what Yahoo is and can spell it so I don’t have to repeat myself over and over on how to spell a domain name. There are more benifts but I wont list them now.

My main concern is Yahoo! being down for over an hour. That is a long time in internet time. I mean an hour online is like 10 hours in the real world! Come on Yahoo!! Tighten up or sell-out already. Wonder if yahoo bothers to monitor their online reputation and will read and comment on this?
