Well that's one way to respond to shark jumping allegations (and to Yahoo finally upgrading their email to 1 Gigi).

BTW, what is it with everyone claiming that “only a few people use 1G”? My main (non-Gmail) work mail account has a few hundred meg archived already, and I've only been there since January. At my previous work I had nearly 5 Gig of mail archived (4 years of keeping everything).

I had to unsubscribe a number of mailing lists from my @apache.org address because I foward that to my GMail and it was filling up too quickly – it got to 400M before I deleted some archives. Now I've got 50M in my GMail account and I'm annoyed at how difficult it is to keep organized. (Of course it is hugely better than any other web-based mailing client, but for high volumns of mail it just is too much work)

(And since I'm talking about the jumping the shark article it's not as clear cut as it says that Yahoo's search API is better than Google's. I've been working with a number of engines APIs lately and there isn't a lot to choose between them. A REST interface to Google is the only thing it is missing – but Yahoo doesn't have the SOAP interface, so you can argue that both ways)
