Unlimited Space @ Yahoo! Mail

I've had a Yahoo! email account for a long time. It was actually a Rocketmail account that was migrated to Yahoo! Mail when Y! bought Rocketmail. Y! Mail is good, but ever since Gmail debuted, I've been a Gmail user.

Gmail has great features like a top notch spam filter and chat integration. But the one feature that lured me to Gmail was the massive space allotment. Right now, I have 2.834 gigabytes of space available to me -- space which I'll probably never use -- but it's certainly nice to know it's there in case e.g. my cousin wants to email me a massive video file of her twins doing something crazy.

Looks like the folks at Y! Mail are about to take the more-space-than-you'll-ever-need idea to the next level. According to the Yahoo! Anecdotal blog, Y! Mail will feature unlimited storage for it's users beginning in May, 2007. That's right: unlimited!

How will Y! handle to inevitable abuse? I was able to find this in the blog enry:

"...we have anti-abuse limits in place to protect our users..."

That's good, because they're going to need it.

I'm thinking about using the improved Y! Mail system to backup certain files on my network. Would that be considered abuse? Comments welcome.

$0.99 .INFO Domain Names!

The last time I posted a coupon code here, it was a code that can get you .INFO domain names @ $1.99 each. Today's code is even hotter, believe it or not. www.GoDaddy.com coupon code gdm0309b gets you dot-INFO domain names @ an ultra-cheap $0.99 each for the first year! I don't think gdm0309b works with renewals, which is a shame (I just tried to renew a few dot-INFO's in my portfolio and it didn't work.)

gdm0309b is set to expire on March 31, 2007. Enjoy!
