Yahoo! Briefcase
So goes the e-mail I got from the good guys at Yahoo. I have a little less than two weeks to log on and retrieve my files. After the closing day on March 30, 2009, I will no longer be able to get the files I have there.
Yahoo did not say why it was closing the file storage service in its e-mail, but with all the problems that Yahoo has been experiencing in the past few months, I have to say it is because they are losing money and would rather concentrate on their core business. Which is, which is… hmmmn… what IS Yahoo’s core business, anyway? Officially, however, Yahoo maintains that “users have outgrown the service” especially when you got unlimited e-mail storage via Yahoo Mail as well as media sharing sites like Flickr.
