I have to say, Yahoo! new mail is waaay better than gmail and the outgoing edition of Y!Mail. One of the neat features that has been built in is the ability to chat in the mail experience (Ya, ya, I know Gmail does the same thing). So the chat experience is nothing special but I did notice a small detail that actually amuses me and keeps me in the experience.
Notice at the bottom of the window, the status of your friend is displayed. Normally, the just have "
is typing..." but everyonce in a while, they have a random status message that just brightens your day. Here are the one's I've seen so far:
"1000 Monkeys just landed on <-Your Friend->'s keyboard..."
"STAND BY FOR MESSAGE FROM <-YOUR FRIEND->..."
"Don't leave! <-Your Friend-> is typing a message..."
It's a super small thing but man, it adds such a wonderful human touch to the experience. I love it.
