What does this Yahoo thingie do?



I'm loathe to touch anything yahoo.

So, what happens if I click? My homepage changes? The Yahoo browser installs and becomes my default? My nads fall off?

</small>It takes you to a Yahoo sign-in page.

If you have a Yahoo account, on signing in it <i>should</i> add DVD Talk content to your personal collection of material on My Yahoo.

And after that your nads fall off.

DVD Talk main page:

Left column. Near bottom.

At the top of all the pages in the forum, just above the long banner ad.

Other pages around DVD Talk.

All that stuff can be accessed using the DVDTalk toolbar or IE's Favorites.

Yahoo is E-vil. It's a shame that Geoff has to lower the site to the level of whoring for them in order to pay the bills.

Thanks for the answers.

XML RSS feeds! It's pretty nifty. I really like it. A lot of websites are using these, a central location for your news...

Who uses the Yahoo! Browser anyway? E-vil applies to relative monopolies like Comcast where you are forced to bend over and take it. You can use whatever browser you like.

Kudos to Geoff for adding XML RSS feeds. I hadn't even noticed that this was available (using it through MyYahoo! is just one potential application). I wish more sites would do this.

I use it to find out what email has made its way into the bulk folder that doesn't belong there. Other than that, I have no use for it. Since SBC is my ISP, I'm pretty much bending over on a daily basis. (You want pics? )

When I had AT&T, I didn't have anywhere near the spam, and certainly didn't have a filtering problem.

I have Comcast, but don't use their browser. Just normal IE.
