Yahoo offers new rocketmail and ymail addresses
So from now on you can have ur mail ids as xyz@ymail.com and xyz@rocketmail.comYahoo Inc. set up two new domains for email to give its users more choice over their addresses.
Surveys studied by the company showed that most people want an easy to remember address that contains part of their name. With about 260 million users, the yahoo.com email system didn't have many easy names left for people to choose from.
Yahoo plans to auction off a number of desirable email addresses related to charitable groups starting today.
John Kremer is vice president of Yahoo Mail, which started service in October 1997.
Wednesday marked the one-year anniversary of Jerry Yang's promotion to CEO of Yahoo. Yang, who started Yahoo, took over from Terry Semel as CEO in what the company hoped would be a renaissance.
Yang spent the last few months fighting off a bid from Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) to buy Yahoo for $33 a share and also pressure from activist shareholder Carl Icahn.
