Yahoo Will See Your 1 Gig and Raise it Another Gig

The super sized email storage wars have truly begun in earnest! I awoke this morning to find that my previously stuffed nearly full upgraded Yahoo email in-box had grown some in the night. By about 80 times to a chart topping, server bustin' 2 gigabytes of storage.

Which means I'm never throwing away another email. I'd gone from about 85% full on a 25 meg account to 1% full on the 2 gig space. It feels so empty, maybe I'll send myself some MP3s to fill out the space a little bit?

Given all of the concerns I've had over my Gmail account and the bed sharing that Google's been doing with the feds, I think I'll pretty much abandon that account unless I need to fill in an email address on a web form somewhere.

Good work, Yahoo!
