Yahoo Music (un)Limited!

Yahoo Music needs to jump on the ClueTrain (they recommend netscape 4.7!!!)

Yahoo Music UnLimited! needs a ticket on the clue train, and fast.

How about just one second to consider how you present yourself? The above image is what I receive when trying to watch a video with the “Y!Video” player or some such concocted piece of software cobbled together with the yahoo brand.

I’m not ranting because it insults me, with my computer whose market share is a paltry 3%. I’m ranting because an organization like Yahoo should have more of a clue with their level of resources. It’s offensive.

As should we.
