I've been sucked into using Yahoo! for my personal email using a personalized domain (this one). What can I say, I love the YUI-eye candy goodness. But still there is lots of room for improvement. First, never mind the fact you can't use IMAP nor if you upgrade your Yahoo! service to use a personal domain that you can't use Yahoo! Mobile to read your personal email account. That baffles me that I pay more for advanced features but but doing so lose out on other features. If you are still confused, if you so choose to use Yahoo! for hosting your personal email account you must first create a Yahoo! account. That makes sense. When you do that you automatically get a Yahoo! email account. That too makes sense. However when you connect to Yahoo! via their mobile application you can only check your Yahoo! account, not your personal mail account. Now sure, there are some things I can do to get around this with filters, etc but the fact this doesn't work *still* even after complaining about it over six months ago. But I digress.
See, this rant is really about Yahoo! RSS and it's inability to read it's own feeds. As many know I'm an avid outdoorsman. I often search Yahoo! News for stories related to the outdoors and finally today I got tired of searching it. My alternative? Well Yahoo! has conveniently allowed any Yahoo! News search to have it's own RSS feed which is perfect. here's the one for my search. Great, armed with that I logged into my Yahoo! Mail account where I am able to add RSS feeds. Well, that's where I'm *suppose* to enter my RSS feed. See, Yahoo! can't even digest it's own feed.
