Yahoo! to jettison Zimbra?
Posted by Brian in technology, web on September 22, 2009
Yahoo! reportedly considers deleting Zimbra – Poor Yahoo. You look at Google and, while it’s hard for Google to succeed in areas outside of search, it’s done well with GMail. Don’t get me wrong … I think Yahoo! Mail is very nice but it’s no GMail. I think Yahoo’s purchase of Zimbra was more about [...]
