For some time, I've been using Yahoo's services a lot again.

The Search Engine Test [Dutch] showed me what I already knew: Google's search results are getting worse and worse, Yahoo's search results are getting better and better. Clusty isn't in there, which is too bad, for it's one of my favorite search engines now (no weird cookie or Orwellian need to log everything).

Anyways, Yahoo. Besides a search engine, a lot of these companies offer you a shipload of other services. I'm quite fond of Yahoo Travel and the Yahoo Mail can be a handy backup too (you know ... whenever I travel, my server crashes and explaining that my domain name is really bee-one-zero-em-dot-net can get frustrating ;-)

The biggest downside to these webmail providers is of course that you have to open a browser, go through the login hassle and finally get to your mail. But not anymore! Alpha-Geek showed me that Yahoo now offers IMAP!

I've tried it and sure, it works pretty good. Go Yahoo!

Yahoo, IMAP
