Has anyone else played around with it? It is impressive to say the least. It is much more functional that Kahuna and probably more functional than Gmail.

In January I liked it, it was slow, but clean and nice.

Now there are huge ads everywhere and it's almost even slower. But I still like the RSS reader.

The RSS Reader kills Gmail Web Clips.

Thanks for all the links. I am impressed but I see what Ionut says. Yahoo just don't know how *not* to shoot themselves in the feet. They make a great interface. It is pretty stunning given it is solid AJAX, but then they can't help themselves but coat it with adverts. Google is much more constrained in this department.

Have you tried Live Mail too? I think that is terrible.
