Just a quick note that Yahoo Mail! is beta testing a completely new mail system, to replace the cludgy old Yahoo Mail, according to Charlene. Many people will say that Yahoo is copying GMail, but the reality is that GMail copied a company Yahoo eventually bought: Oddpost. Oddpost really pioneered rich apps delivered over the web. GMail certainly made improvements to that, but Yahoo Mail’s new client seems to be taking it to the next level with their new release.

Several people (like here and here) are talking about Google’s new blog search engine. The long and short of this is the following: from a technology and usage perspective, it’s FAST… But there’s little depth to the index. That will change over time, but that’s a harsh reality. On the industry side, this will likely increase innovation, speed, consolidation, etc, in blog search which has been long overdue.

Both huge pieces of news in their industry, that I’d love to write long posts about, but I’m simply too tied up this week.
