Whats New On Yahoo Mail

Well yesterday ( 31-Aug-06 ) as I was checking my yahoo mail. I saw a small little surprise. It was a cool new feature on yahoo mail. The mails were expandable right at the pane without opening the mail actually. Its quite similiar to treeview but without child nodes. The mail opened in new format quite quickly. Surely yahoo users will like this feature. I guess it is in testing stage as when I reopened it in the evening, the feature was not available. I am really looking forward to this cool new feature.

Update :

I have figured it out why its happening. It happens in Firefox extension. It only supports Mozilla Firefox browser. This cool extension has been developed by Viamatic. This extension converts Yahoo! Mail into Ajax enabled web account.

Firefox user can install the extension from here.

Blogger Blocked In India

Many Blogger/Blogspot users here in India are unable to log into thier blogs. Indian govt has issued a directive to ISPs in India to ban few websites including Blogger, TypePad, GeoCities. According to Hindustantimes, there are around 12 websites that have been listed. This directive has been issued after the mumbai blasts. Many bloggers have been left stranded. Some users have reportedly to easily log into dashboard and even wrote thiers blogs.

There can be a couple of alternatives to access the blogger here in India.

1) Use proxy server ( www.publicproxyservers.com ). Search the term on google for various proxy IP addresses. Hundreds of addresses are listed on these websites.

2) Use a Site Viewer to instantly view any webpage ( http://www.anybrowser.com/siteviewer.html )
