Blackberry has a plan for future financial survival, unlike Yahoo who seem completely clueless.

Goshh,u don't know the difference between mail service and an app? What do we really use this our so called smartphones for? Pride? Show off? Or people just want to copy their friend? Na wa for this Naija sef! I wonder what ur iPhone/Android has been teaching you? Just because you want to hate on BlackBerry,moreover,you know next to nothing about the usefulness of the crappy machine you are holding! There is time for improvements though.

Ejiné: Yahoo can go take a seat in the deepest pit of hell for all I care.

I'm just so glad I left this sinking platform and their outdated, obsolete system.

Can you believe I've got 12 Nairaland PMs I haven't read?

Why? Because when I try to log in to my mailbox (I used YahooMail to open this Nairaland handle), it tells me there's a problem and I should log in with a computer.

And then, when I DO try to log in from my laptop I am redirected to a CAPTCHA verification screen.

Ohhhh, but it gets interesting: Now, instead of displaying a distorted CAPTCHA word for me to type in, I am simply shown a message: "We're sorry, there is no image available"!!!

In my frustration, I decided to do a little googling, and discovered YahooMail BANNED all NIGERIAN Globacom users from accessing their Mail system.
This shows nothing but laziness and idiiocy on their part, because:

1. They are too phucking dull to develop better technology to properly weed out the spammers and allow the innocent ones in; and

2. They don't realize they're officially losing MILLIONS of subscribers with this dumbass move.

I've long abandoned that stupiid asss mail system and have moved to the cleaner, more-efficient GMail, so I'm laying out my sincerest apologies to the Nairalanders who mailed, because I most likely will never be able to read those mails sad

As their market share continues to sink like a sumo wrestler on quick sand, I give them my last two words --- Phuck you.
wow. Thats realy enough for you to hate them, but you have change your NL Email add. Now?

No, not yet.
I still get coldfeet when I think of using my business/real e-mail address for a site like Nairaland, seeing a spammer can just spot it using a Mail extractor.

Also, G-Mail requires a phone number before you can open an account, and since I already used my real phone when I opened my true G-Mail account, I don't have any other to use.

Then again, I could just use my Globacom modem's phone number.

Hmmm...

As in!!! Google is an unstoppable internet beast!

However, in a few years time, their turn to lose relevance go also reach.

Na turn by turn.

For now, yes.

What killed Yahoo is line-extensions...and Google is already following in the exact foot-steps.

What is Yahoo? A search engine, an email provider, an auto sales portal, a domain registrar, a news site and so many other things that I can't count.

On the surface, it might make sense to dabble into everything when you are the market leader - with your primary brand name. But it's a very bad idea. It's just as absurd as having MTN Noodles, Milo Soap, Coca-cola beer or Indomie biscuit.

Lots of companies do this all the time...and eventually, they face the music. Brand devaluation.

Really?! Didn't know that.
Assumed it would simply be rejected since the number's already been filed under an existing account in their database.
