Just got an announcement from Xoopit that they are shutting down Xoopit for Gmail in order to focus on improving Yahoo mail and My Pictures. This comes as a surprise to me and does not smell like a business decision for two reasons:
- Xoopit should have more resources now that they are part of Yahoo
- I agree with Ouriel that Yahoo could benefit a lot from the data Xoopit collects about Gmail usage
For these reasons and also for the way their email ends, I actually think that it was Google who forced Yahoo and Xoopit to make that decision -
Thank you for using Xoopit for Gmail. We’ll miss you!
Anyways Xoopit, it was fun to use you. You helped me find some forgotten pics that were buried deep inside my Gmail archive. I will miss you as well.
