YAHOO YOU SUCK! :angry:
Mo:
Yahoo doesn't look very good in light of this news.

Well, since X-Fire seems to be a completely pointless program with no other function than to create another outlet for self-promotion and self-advertisement, I really don't see what the problem is.
I could care less about people's profiles, video game playing history and personal opinions and I find is disturbing that so many people use this program that is created for the sole purpose of advertising those things. We have enough noise and garbage on the internet without adding "meta-noise": programs designed specifically to spread useless, pointless personal data about complete strangers.
In other words, I get free 100MB email from Yahoo, Yahoo is my homepage and I read Yahoo news and use its movie, TV and map guides. On the other hand, X-Fire is a useless program that should never have existed in the first place.
AND, before I hear any of this "the mighty heartless corporation is picking on the tiny, helpless new guys", let me just remind everyone that despite what the US Government likes to say in press releases, monopolistic business practices are indeed allowed to flourish and only when the US Governement can make a profit will it interfere in that corporation's business policies.
Don't be fooled, we do not live in a Democracy, we live in a country run by Capitalism and people who think Capitalism isn't a form of government haven't been paying very close attention to the way the US Government (or any other "Democracy" for that matter) is actually run.

I agree with that totally. Xfire programs are useless, I dont care about the little xfire thing you shove in your sig telling me how many hrs. u've been playing, wtf is the point of that? I would much rather check my my email everyday that never gets full, and use my handy dandy yahoo toolbar that lets me create 2 custom buttons that I use daily. Moreover, why do you think I use MSN Messenger, but only use my Yahoo email? Yahoo mail is far better, ive never gotten full, and I probably never will. But MSN's Messenger is far better, hence why I use that. Heck, I dont even care for messengers, but they come in handy, well I dont see any of Xfires programs being useful to me daily... thats all I can say about that.
Peanuts.
