Yahoo Getting Into The Office Suite Business?
from the testing-anything dept
Recently Yahoo has been asking an awful lot of survey questions of their users. The questions seem to have a pattern, though. They all start with "would you pay for...?" or "how much would you pay for...?". Of course, just because they ask those questions, it doesn't mean they're going to go through with charging (or offering) any of the things they're asking. That doesn't stop News.com from speculating, though. Their latest guess is that Yahoo is looking at offering an office suite online, so that you can create, edit, and store documents and spreadsheets online. I could see it being useful, every once in a while, but I'm not sure I'd ever be willing to pay for such a thing.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Yahoo and uReach
This is a good startup opportunity. ASP where one can write word-like documents and store them. And send them. Then yahoo buys you out.
I really like the service of uReach. I store a lot of stuff there. There email program is much better than Yahoo's I think, and they have some cool phone/wireless features. I'm happy to pay ureach for the "over and aboves" I use.
