Think Big. Think Purple!!!
In case you haven’t heard (or seen)…Yahoo! is hiring. I recently added a blog page dedicated for job listings within the Mail team (linked to from the sidebar), and sometimes you might even catch one of the banner ads on the sign-in page.
Over to the right you can see my favorite example, featuring a […]
Jessie Baylin serenades Yahoo!
This doesn’t exactly relate directly to Yahoo! Mail, but it does relate to the people here that bring you Yahoo! Mail. Some might insist that this doesn’t belong here, but I’m the judge and my ruling is…I’ll allow it!
Thanks to our friends over at Yahoo! Music, singer/songwriter Jessie Baylin stopped by and performed some […]
Goose, it’s time to BUZZ the YMail blog!
In the interest of blatant self-promotion, and because I’m still all a glow from the fact that my post was picked up by the Washington Post this week (I was, after all, a print journalism major for like 2 semesters), I thought now would be the perfect time to incorporate Yahoo! Buzz into this blog.
What […]

If you are an active emailer of images, you’ve probably already noticed this recent enhancement. But just in case you hadn’t (and because I was excited to test out a different screencasting tool) I wanted to give you all a demonstration of the all new image viewer we’ve incorporated into the All-New Yahoo! Mail.
Never […]
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 […]
Yahoo! Mail users eligible for Pearl-a-day giveaway
If you’ve thought about jumping onto the mobile mail bandwagon for a while, now might be a good time to take the plunge. While the Yahoo! Mobile team has done a lot to make Mail (and other Y! products) work really well on a variety of mobile phones, the experience they’ve developed for certain […]
Another scam warning - recent PayPal phishing

I received a lot of positive responses (comments and email) after last week’s warning about bogus Yahoo! Lottery scams, so I thought I’d keep with that theme and offer up some more tips.
Hopefully just about everyone knows that when someone sends an “URGENT” message “from the desk of…” some guy insisting that you just lucked […]
Yahoo! Lottery notifications - don’t fall for ‘em!
- Posted May 8th, 2008 at 8:02 am by Ryan
- Categories: Anti-Spam, General, Tips & Tutorials
I trust that the vast majority of you all would never fall for such an obvious ruse (notice I spelled that correctly this time), but given the number of questions I’m getting via email, as well as what many users are asking on Yahoo! Answers (more than 6,000 questions!), I think it’s worth a reminder. […]

Be a part of Liam’s Life, in Yahoo! Mail

If you are like me, you first noticed the charming, yet goofy, ambassador for Yahoo! Mail almost two years ago, bouncing and pogo-ing around the beta version of what is now the All-New Yahoo! Mail. Of course, back then I was in the same non-employee boat that most of you are right now. […]
