Taglines eliminated: newshound shortage could be next!

You’ve almost certainly seen them before, but as of a few days ago you won’t be seeing them again. Tagline advertisements (which were inserted at the end of email messages) were comprised of short messages for a variety of products, but are now comprised of nothing!

I for one am going to particularly miss the frequent Yahoo! Mobile ad (which replicated on each reply in a thread) encouraging folks to “be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all” with Yahoo! Mobile, but I suppose I’ll learn to cope.

If you find yourself experiencing similar feelings of longing for these blurbs, don’t fret! You can put them in yourself by creating a custom signature! Just follow the directions from Yahoo! Help. In fact, I’m thinking of putting the ‘newshound’ message in my signature, but instead linking to this blog.
