Gmail Eclipses Yahoo Mail
I have been using Yahoo Mail for my personal email for quite a while. But now, I am transitioning to Gmail and I am not looking back.
My decision to switch email systems stems from Yahoo making several small mistakes in comparison to Gmail. It was not any one thing, more of an accumulative effect. Yahoo's advertising was seeping into everything I did, most importantly the signature of every email I sent. Yahoo was being blocked in strange ways at work due to some network vulnerabilities, so my access was limited. I had to come up with some inventive ways to gain access. Even when I did connect to Yahoo, I would run into loading problems which caused it to error out (Again, thanks to my work network) And finally, when I would get through, the address book would rarely function properly. I would run into one of these issues about every third time I tried to check my email, so it was not the worst thing ever. I dealt with it.
But now, after seeing the light that is Gmail, I'm switching and never looking back. Its the wave of the future, if for no other reason that Gmail's reliability. (Their spam blocking is WAY better too)
So, goodbye Yahoo Mail. I think we need to see other people. Its not you, its me. We are just in different places in our lives right now. This is for the best.
