New email domains for Yahoo! – Ymail and Rocketmail

Yahoo! Inc. Today is a celebration day…..atleast at Yahoo Inc.As they have just announced their two new email domains Ymail.com and Rocketmail.com.

Launched in October 1997, Yahoo! mail claims more than 260 million users worldwide, as a result of which many desirable e-mail addresses have already been taken for the yahoo.com( and yahoo.co.in or yahoo.co.uk or yahoo.co.au etc) domain.With the introduction of two new email domain choices, Yahoo! is will make millions of new email addresses available to the online community.

Ymail is expected to compete directly with Gmail of Google.
Rocketmail is rather a old email domain, and at one time was one of the most widely used and a fast webmail services which was regarded as an rival for Hotmail. Yahoo acquired Rocketmail.com in 1997 and used its technology as the foundation of its Yahoo Mail. After the Yahoo! acquisition of rocketmail , no new Rocketmail.com email addresses could be registered.But the earlier users were left to use and retain their email addresses.

Now we can register for any/all these 3 mail domains with our favorite ID names.

Many have tried to register for ymail or rocketmail by going to ymail.com and/or rocketmail.com(but it redirects to the same old yahoo login page.

Then how to register ?

Relax, just goto the same login.yahoo.com page and click on the signup now link.You will then be taken to the regular registration page.There you can select your email ID as well as the email domain.

A common Yahoo! ID will work for everything across the Yahoo! network, from checking email to checking out Messenger, Flickr, groups, finance, MyBlogLog and the rest hundreds of yahoo acquired sites and services.

The new mail domain comes with:-
ymail-login-page

Easily transition contacts and emails from other mail accounts with a handy wizard.

The @ymail.com and @rocketmail.com addresses deliver all the great features you love about Yahoo!

Find the @ymail.com or @rocketmail.com email address that’s you always wanted and was unavailable.

However you cannot change your current email address to the new ymail.com or rocketmail.com email address.

“A happy user is one that stays around and is a Yahoo! user for life,” Kremer Vice President, Yahoo! Mail, said.

NOTE: To login using your ymail or rocketmail ID’s, just open yahoomail.com and then type your full email ID( Ex:- technotip@ymail.com) and then enter your password(in password field) and then hit Signin, this will take you to the new ymail or rocketmail.

“If you have an email address that is your name at ymail, that becomes part of your identity.”

We already grabbed out technotip@ymail.com. What about you guys ?

MyBlogLog – Some tricky uses

We have seen many cases where people try to hack and crack some popular sites and damage the reputation of it.It has been true in case of MyBloglog too.

But lets concentrate on the things by which we can get advantage of.

MyBlogLog is owned by Yahoo Inc.

Now I will show you how to track the recent 127 visitors(Who are also members of MyBlogLog).

Click on add a website/blog link.Fill the small form and get your blog listed under your
My Sites and Services option.Now click on the widgets link below the website/blog listed.

It will look like the one shown in below image…

MyBlogLog

Your code will also look similar, except the ID number i.e., 200711051214522 in above case.

Just look for your code and copy the ID number(Just the number) and past it in one notepad or any other text editors.

Now look at the below code…


<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pub.mybloglog.com
/comm2.php?mblID=2007110514214522&c_
width=800&c_sn_opt=n&c_rows=10&
c_img_size=f&c_heading_text=&
c_color_heading_bg=FFFFFF&
c_color_heading=ffffff&
c_color_link_bg=FFFFFF&
c_color_link=FFFFFF&c_color_bottom_bg=FFFFFF">
</script>

Now replace the ID number(i.e., 200711051214522 ) from your ID number.

That’s it….now copy and past the entire code wherever you want to show your recent 127 visitors who are also members of MyBlogLog.
Optional: In the above code we have made the color of widget texts Powered by MyBlogLog into white, you can change it to the color of your blogs background.

One more use of MyBlogLog is, we can encourage people to comment on our blog.

i.e., we can get the logo of members who are currently viewing your blog(if he/she is logged into their MyBlogLog account).

1. Please use comment section to get involved in a particular discussion.

2. Don’t use abusing language. This will hurt your online reputation. Please respect other commentators and have a good interaction.

Comment mainly for exchange of ideas and to gain knowledge. Don’t just comment to get link back.
Read the post before commenting.

3. We have purposefully not placed any advertisements inside the post, as we consider good user experience as our primary goal, than making money through advertising.

4. Most of the popular sites have placed CPM(Cost Per 1000 Impression) ads below the comment section, which gets a very little visitors attention. But still the ad generates good revenue, as it is a CPM ad.

But we have not placed such ads also, just to make sure that our website loads faster (again, to make our visitors experience great).

This does not mean that we are not bothered about the advertisers. We are also concerned about the advertisers. All the advertisers advertising on this blog should get value. Think yourself as an advertiser. And your ad is an CPM ad. Now will you be happy to pay for showing your ad in some corner ( which draws no/less user attention) ?

Such an ad campaign would be a loss at the end of the day, with no conversion.

So we have placed limited number of ads and are placed in places which are hard to go unnoticed, but still does not interrupt reading the post.

5. I do not, I have not and I will not link to anyone in my posts in exchange for money or other incentives.

6. I enjoy this blog. I enjoy writing in this blog. And I would love to help all my readers. Actually this is the main purpose behind this blog.

7. We have implemented language translation tool in this blog, so utilize it, if you are not comfortable with English.

8. If you want to quote from Technotip.org, then quote only excerpts ( as it is in our article ), and give a credit link to the exact article above or below your post(Don’t just link to the homepage).

9. Print media’ s must contact me before reprinting the article. Point number 9 also holds good for print media.

10. We consider plagiarism very seriously. And we know all the measures to handle with such issues.

*. And please do not block the advertisements in this blog, using any softwares, scripts etc. Just read the contents you like. Blocking ads will not give value to advertisers and advertisements are the primary source of income to maintain this blog, to host this blog, to take care of all the expenses in the way of blogging.

Note: This policy is subject to change/update at any time, and changes made will be effective immediately.

We have left the comment section even to this page….Just because to get your opinion/feedback about our policies.
