Yahoo! Again?? Not Again!


Ya, after my finding about Yahoo! Asia, which provide FREE email forwarding feature, (not a big deal, really, but since they've it, I use it!! As simple as that!)
I hit another problem with yahoo…
And damn yahoo, no wonder they're going down the drain, can't they just bloody CONSOLIDATE their server???
Why do they need to have so many different region settings, and each of them seems like don't "talk" to each other..
And what makes it worse is,
Damn! The NEW look and the CLASSIC look, the difference is not just the bloody LOOK, they've difference!!!
See!! I've sent out an email verification from my gmail account, to this particular yahoo account, the one that kinda lead me to my finding about Yahoo! Asia,
But many time I sent the verification code, (oh, by the way, so that, I can send via gmail, on behalf of my yahoo account, ie. I login to gmail, and I can have may emails to be 'sent from')
Many time, I'm serious, many time, the opposite (my yahoo email) just doesn't seem to be able to receive anything…
However, since I quit facebook, only left with minimal of email notification, those notifications did manage to get through whatever and pop into my yahoo email, weird!!
So, I searched and searched, and from my search result, the NEW look vs. CLASSIC look came out a couple of time…

This is then, what I did,
I changed my email server, (again)
Switched back to classic look,
Damn!! The email just flew in like that, just as usual, so, I verified, now, my gmail can send on behalf of my yahoo mail..
And then, I switch back to Yahoo! Asia…

See, I hate things that are confusing…
I simply HATE IT so much!!
So, if you're the type of person who likes to complicate stuff, do stay away from me please!!!
"I'm a simple person!!" (Denny Crane), period!

Yahoo's so damn confusing with their services, no wonder they're struggling, no wonder the game is now between microsoft and google,
While microsoft, which I've just posted too, their personal site is consider confusing to me too…
So, left google with me…
See, I am already a google fans, but now, it makes me even more hardcore google fans…
The problem with microsoft live.com is that,
If you want to separate products, just separate, like google's blogger, vs. picasa, vs. email, fully separated in the look and feel,
Then, you don't mix things up together, which is just like the live.com, please refer to my earlier entries.. If you do bother,
If you still do not know how it feels like, just create one for yourself, and you'll know what I mean,
I hate people who complicate stuff,
And I also hate people who 'half-half'… a lot of things, it's between yes and no, or black and white,
Grey's created by looser who can't pick a stand…
And I'm damn sure, there're many loosers around now…
That's why, there're a lot of people who tells you, there's no right or wrong, (ok, I sometimes do that too! So, I'll be a looser, whenever I say that)

Anyway… that's my yahoo experience,
I still keep it, all because of sentimental value…
Yahoo was once, better than hotmail, ie. microsoft,
And now… sigh… I seriously think they should just close shop, or at least look for a decent buyer…
(ooh, somebody bought Zimbra, I thought??)

Multiply.com is just like Ono Lisa to me…


Hehe, if you've followed my posting, you'll have come across one entry mentioning that, I've been listening to ono lisa every single night, until I want to puke, but yet, I do not know what else to replace…
As our bedtime music…
Cos, sadly… in the end, it's still the 'best' music for our ears… late at night…
I cannot take those music… which in the middle of the night, when you get up (if the music's still playing, cos, I burnt it to mp3 disc, it can be played up to 6-7 hours, I guess, never played to the end) and the music start 'attacking' your ears, arrgh…
Therefore, only ono lisa's type of music, which I called it quiet, pass my criteria…

Same thing goes to multiply…
Again, if you've been following my blog, you know, from time to time (and it's THAT time now again) I've been thinking about switching platform for my blogs, for my photo albums, for my whatever things that I want to share…
However… after researching and reviewing so many of them, I finally tell myself, (and of course, need to be told over and over again, whenever this type of TIME comes again) that I won't switch, cos, as for MY criteria, eventually multiply still provides me with exactly what I needed, as a control freak, kinda!!
Why??
Multiply is the only one, so far, that will be able to provide me an insight of who's visited my places, (be it my homepage, or blog, or photos, or etc.)
(as I'm really very skeptical for any strangers come visiting, I'm not a good candidate to be a celebrity, as if…)
The one comes near to it, is live.com, (by microsoft)
But lately, I was confused, and a little bit "beh song" with it…
Cos, guess what??
Spaces.live.com, you can customize the look and feel, fine!
Your own live.com profile, you can customize again, which is different from the above!! Damn!!
Then… your skydrives.live.com, you can customize another round, damn damn!!
See.. Too many customization is also no good, and…
It's just confusing,
Cos, whenever I'm in one of this live.com products, I get those contacts' update published…
Ya, they're trying to be "social network" too… BUT…
When I go to my contacts, skydrives, profile, spaces, seem to have slightly different contact list, slightly, I mean…
Cos, some, you don't add it to profile, or you only add it to messenger…
Crap!! And now.. I can't continue writing anymore about it, cos, I'm lost after that point…
Yes, so many different products and tools are fine, but then, why kinda no connection or link between these tools!!!
That's why I, eventually do bother about it anymore..
And being MICROSOFT, they ARE pretty full of themselves,
There's no 'import' tool either…!!! Oh! So unfriendly!!

End result??
Yep… though I'm kinda sick, but I'll stay with multiply…
(while hoping that, they'll improve somehow)

Ps: using multiply's kinda like using Lotus Notes, you can control the access to pretty fine area, for eg. A post within a feature... (blog, album, music, etc.) and that's what I called cool!!!!
While for live.com, your contact has to have the .net passport, or, every post, if you wanna limit viewing, you've to SELECT PEOPLE, and that's not what I want, I do not want to limit my privacy to a point where ONLY people I've selected can view it, that'll be too boring to be online!! If you ask me,
The one thing that makes me stay with multiply is that, I do make friends, online friends, or whatsoever… by how??
By knowing who's comed by my page, and also after some research, oh, those person is genuine, is ok, then, only I'll 'befriend' with them… which is cool, cos, you do make friend in such manner… ^_^
Ya… that's in fact, the very reason, I'll just stick to multiply.com...
