Yahoo integrated today RSS news onto the mail application. On day one you have only the option to choose from premade RSSs from Yahoo News but it’s obviously that a customized version will be out soon.

I think that this is connected with the features that will be implemented this summer:

Ever since Yahoo acquired San Francisco start-up Oddpost last year, speculation has been rampant that the company will unveil a mail interface that rivals Google’s Gmail for usability. Spillane wouldn’t divulge details about that. But he said to expect two or three more big announcements by Labor Day. Clearly, something is in the works, and Spillane can barely contain his excitement about it.

“This is a big deal,” he said of Yahoo PhotoMail. “But we have two or three other things that are as big or bigger….There will be no question who’s the leader in email innovation.”

Google is trying to do the same thing on Gmail for a time but only for a limited number of users.

Yahoo managed to score again
