Uneasy Rhetoric

There’s a rumor that Yahoo Mail will expand their beta test. I haven’t listened yet, but I hear the rumor comes from this podcast interview with Ethan Diamond and Scott Gatz from Yahoo (Ethan was formerly one of the Oddpost gurus).

One way to (maybe) get in on the action is to sign up here with your Yahoo email address.

I’ve been using the beta since early on and I quite like it. It is still more buggy than I would like, and some of the quirks it has in Firefox it doesn’t have in IE (but I can’t really judge because I rarely use IE anymore), but I think it is a real step forward for Yahoo Mail.

Update (12/4/2005): Yes, they do say Yahoo will be expanding the Mail Beta test. But they don’t say how and they don’t give a timeline.
