Yahoo Mail Gets a Refresh Beta, Adds Twitter

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

Speed and spam topped the list of what Yahoo was trying to improve in its next version, a beta of which will start rolling out to users Tuesday night. The redesigned version takes inspiration from Yahoo’s iPad and Android clients for the market-leading, Web-based mail service, and not only adds the speed and spam reduction, but also brings Twitter into its fold and, like Microsoft’s updated Hotmail service, can now display photos and videos within users’ inboxes.

David McDowell, Yahoo’s senior director of product management for Yahoo Mail, about the new mail version: “People spend more than 30 billion minutes a month on Yahoo Mail, so if we make a change, it’s significant,” said McDowell. “If you were to stack up users lists of complaints about e-mail, speed and spam would be at the top of the list, and we’ve tackled both head on with this release. Yahoo Mail’s been re-architected from the ground up with speed and performance in mind, and it’s actually two times faster than our existing version—much faster to load and much faster to navigate.”

Google Sets New Internet Traffic Record

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

In their earnings call last week, Google announced a record 2010 third-quarter revenue of $7.29 billion (up 23% from last year). The market rejoiced and Google shares shot past $615 giving the company a market cap of more than $195 billion.

This month, Google broke an equally impressive Internet traffic record — gaining more than 1% of all Internet traffic share since January. If Google were an ISP, as of this month it would rank as the second largest carrier on the planet.

Only one global tier1 provider still carries more traffic than Google (and this ISP also provides a large portion of Google’s transit).

In the graph below, I show a weighted average percentage of Internet traffic contributed by the search / mobile OS / video / cloud giant. As in earlier posts, the Google data comes from 110+ ISPs around the world participating in ATLAS. The multiple shaded colors represent different Google ASN and reflect ongoing global traffic engineering strategies.

Surprise! Passwords Are (Still) Weak Link in Security Chain

Monday, October 18th, 2010

Despite predictions that the password will fade into obscurity, or the rise of alternative methods of authentication such as fingerprint scanners, the username and password are still the default method of accessing secure accounts and information. Unfortunately, weak passwords, and poor password practices mean the password isn’t providing very good protection in many cases.

A survey conducted on behalf of Webroot uncovered some concerning–yet not all that shocking–details about passwords. It would be nice to say that the survey results are startling, but the reality is that surveys such as this show year after year that users continue to follow the same poor password practices, and that passwords continue to be a weak link for computer and information security.
