Rant ahead.<\/em><\/p>\n

I have an old Yahoo email address, where I keep (or better kept<\/em>) old emails for reference purposes. Mostly for nostalgic reasons. From dotcom times. From 1999 or 2000. None of it mission-critical. <\/p>\n

Gone. I logged into Yahoo Mail the other day and was greeted with a smug everything’s deleted<\/em> message, asking me if I’d like to re-activate my account. <\/p>\n

Granted. I only logged in once every six months or less. But they could have sent me a couple of warnings on the alternate email I listed. <\/p>\n

It also shows that there isn’t much Yahoo-wide interaction, ‘cos if they would have looked across to Flickr they would have seen that the same ID is still in use.<\/p>\n

For me that’s the huge downside of online apps: corporations decide at will what they can do with your content. <\/p>\n

It’s happened to me before by smaller companies as well. My old blog disappeared into Nirvana. Cos I didn’t get around to downloading the data fast enough. <\/p>\n

I just read Seth Godin’s post on monopolies<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Welcome to a new century. In the new century, we all have the same goal:
\n1. Establish a direct and positive relationship with the end user.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I feel that tech. companies are using “user generated content” as a way to build their business, but forget that there are real people on the other side. <\/p>\n

Keep going down this road. And I’ll move on. <\/p>\n

Jahuuuuu.<\/p>\n
