Unlimited E-Mail Storage and Other Features Come to Yahoo Mail; AOL Continues to Offer No Limit Storage

Since early 2007, Yahoo has been talking about offering unlimited email storage at no charge.

Well, today is the day. This new service (and more) builds on the beta that became available to the public last September. AOL Mail also offers unlimited storage at no charge.

Quick review of what's new:
+ Unlimited Storage (make sure to read the fine print)
This unlimited space can also be used to store images, attachments, etc.

+ Options to send SMS (text messages) directly from E-Mail Composing Tool

+ Yahoo Mail FAQ

See Also: Inbox.com Offers 5GB of Storage as Does e-Snips (makes finding a permanently saving a web page, audio, video a breeze).

See Also: Other Services Specializing in Automatic Backups, Remote Storage, etc.
For example, for $4.95/monthly, Mozy makes backing up your entire hard drive easy. Software and lots of storage makes backing up your entire hard drive a snap.

UPDATE: The "old version/interface" of Yahoo Mail is available and listed as the classic version.

Arrington on Yahoo Mail vs. Gmail:

Yahoo still charges $20/year for forwarding or POP access. For users who still like their desktop mail clients, POP access is an important feature. Yahoo says they are considering making it a free option, but they have a lot of paying mail customers. If they make too many features free, they jeopardize that revenue stream.

See Also: A Look at What Others Offer (Look for Updates)
Includes Gmail, Inbox.com, Walla.com, MS Live, and others. Important to note that AOL Mail is now offering unlimited storage.

See Also: Gmail currently offers 2.9GB of free space.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.

Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
