Annoying Yahoo! Mail Ads

July 4, 2007 – 1:54 am

Has anyone noticed all the advertorials in Yahoo! Mail? I find that really annoying especially when I accidentally “rolled over” the ads with my cursor.

I wonder why it is even necessary for Yahoo! to stoop this low, bombarding us with ads like that. I am OK with banner ads but not ads that obstruct the main content or distract my attention.

I am already not using my Yahoo! Mail account for anything important. Personal emails have moved to Gmail but I am still keeping my account because of my sign-ups with certain companies and mailing lists and during the early days, my Yahoo! email address was and still is my log in ID to certain websites and I do not know how to request for a change in log in IDs.

By the way, I think that it is dumb of webmasters who require an email address as log in IDs. What if the email account is closed and the address is no longer valid? I have had a few email accounts closed in the past because the provider could not afford to provide the service anymore.

I think the only thing that I use my Yahoo! account daily is the Yahoo! Messenger. How many people have switched to other services, I have no idea but I know that bugging us with such ads is not going to help matters.
