Yahoo prepares a revolution
by Barbora Misakova


In today's technology everything has to be moving and people still want something new and better. While surfing on the Internet you can find innumerable amount of Internet specialists such as google, Facebook, but the truth is that no one is able to comfort you on 100 per cent. That's why Yahoo is going to make a revolution! At the Consumer Electronics Show, which took place in Las Vegas from 7th to 10th January 2008, Jerry Yang, co-founder of Yahoo, introduced visitors of this show into their plans how to solidify yahoo to be more useful and used. He presented new, but still test version of Yahoo Mail named Inbox 2.0. What should be all these innovations about? Yang said they want to create smarter application and in this way make it easier for users to use it. First of all they want it to be connected with other social networks such as MySpace and LinkedIn. E-mail application will have two parts, the first left-hand side should offer number of applications for example Yahoo Maps, eBay, MTV etc. and the right-hand side of the mail screen should show you own account. This should allow you, as a user of account, to find and post process important information. Other very useful novelty should consist of ranked emails and contacts according to importance; it means that all important contacts you are using the most will be listed in the Mail application first. This mail account should be able to integrate with address book or calendar so consumers will be able to organize their day easily and it could help them in many other cases such as kids' birthday party and so on. Yahoo also works with their own mobile software and they plan to enable to their consumers use widgets and many light applications which are usually used on other web-based mobile phones. Although all these plans and new features of yahoo mail looks interesting and they could even help us to use our time effectively, the biggest aim of Yahoo company is still just a question of time. We as customers are the most powerful persons in technology world, because we are determining what is good and what is not. So if Yahoo gets more than 250 million Yahoo Mail users only then it will be the real success!
