An appreciation for the Yahoo groups
In reaction to yahoo's proliferating ads, the electric boats
group recently pulled out to devise their own. Oh, my.
If you can imagine picking through a half a dozen theme
areas -on line only, please- to find the threads with
recent posts, you might think ignoring the ads at the bottom
of the emails a trivial price to pay.
Despite its frequent crashes so far, it's all very handsome
looking and has a large ambition; but shows again what
happens when computer geeks forget their users.
To see it for yourself try
http://www.eboat.org
The beauty of the yahoo / egroup scheme is the simplicity
and dependability. I'm about as noncommercial a person as
you're likely to find, but I understand that yahoo's got to
pay for it somehow.
