Yahoo Acquires OddPost Email Service

Yahoo has purchased the San Francisco based Oddpost.com, a provider of Web-based email, photo sharing, and newsfeed aggregation services. The Oddpost email technology functions like a desktop application through a combination of dynamic HTML, XML, and javascript. Effective immediately, Oddpost programmers will begin developing a new, advanced, and more powerful YahooMail technology for Yahoo.com. Oddpost is not taking any new applications for its services and current Oddpost accounts will be migrated to the new YahooMail service when it is launched. Current OddPost account holders will also receive one year of Premium YahooMail service for free [Announcement at OddPost.com]
