VentureBeat: Yahoo confirms that it’s buying Xoopit

    <<PS: For you Gmail+Xoopit users out there who’ve been waiting for an excuse to switch to Yahoo!, here’s your chance>> from Jerry Yang's letter.

    That is why Yahoo bought Xoopit, they want the customers back. They have been trying to get BACK (a part Jerry Yang left out) their customers that left.

    Inaccuracy in article, you do NOT need the Firefox plug in to use Xoopit in gmail. Almost ALL of Xoopits customers are in gmail it is a strong relationship. The Firefox plug in came later and is a separate relationship
    and the Yahoo relationship is the newest of all. The purchase was as simple as that.

    Ack, sorry for the inaccuracy on the Gmail front, I'll fix that now.

    But, uh, the letter is not from Jerry Yang.
