Yahoo! Email Isn’t The Only Thing That’s Slow
Tuesday, April 18th, 2006For over a week I have been reading articles and blogs that have been wondering about the slowness of Yahoo!’s email. I personally don’t see any slowness but then again I use that email only a few times a year. At this point it has over 600 emails in it, all junk of course.
I started paying closer attention and have noticed that Yahoo! itself is slow. Doing a search took me two minutes and clicking news links took a minute or more for the page to open. Sometimes five minutes passed and I am seething in rage as the site refuses to go through.
I made sure to check that it wasn’t my pc or cable modem, and checked a multitude of websites that popped open in seconds and went back to Yahoo! only to sit there as it slugged through, trying to decide if it would let me through or just come up blank for the third and fourth time in a row.
While a lot of people use Google’s search. I myself use Yahoo! everytime and even has it as my homepage in IE. It has been this way with me for years and at this point I am thinking it’s more out of habit than preference because I’m no longer finding it very useful at times.
