Why promote Yahoo!'s email service? They still don't use SSL after you are logged in right? Sending your plaintext session cookie over the net, allowing people in your coffee shop to hijack your email. Nobody should be encouraging people to keep or get Yahoo email accounts.

Just checked, you can now enable SSL, but by default it is not enabled. No doubt most people don't have it on. Therefore, Yahoo is still an insecure email service.

We had to start somewhere, and Yahoo's OpenID endpoint seemed pretty sane. Gmail and Hotmail are coming soon to round it out.
