An interesting development from Yahoo
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/5398310.stmYahoo is letting web programmers get their hands on the core code for its e-mail program.
By opening up the code Yahoo hopes to help create a series of innovative ways to deal with e-mail messages.
In making this move, Yahoo is following the lead of many web firms including Google, Amazon, Flickr and business software maker Salesforce.com.
Eventually it said there could be "tens of thousands" of add-ons and extras for the e-mail reader.
Not really earth moving news for many of us here but in the long term a helpful step that will help Yahoo leverage the massive amount of online talent to create new code and supplementary applications.
