Yahoo Reviews

Yahoo Groups has brought many new experiences and people into my life. 

About 2 years ago, I was invited to join a local Mom's group that meets up once a month for dinner.  During the rest of the month, the Mom's post on a message board on Yahoo Groups. 

Who has time for that, I thought? 

Well, I joined anyways and have met a wonderful group of ladies in my area.  We chat ALOT.  We have Mom's Night Outs, Family Events, Play-dates, Holiday Events....you name it, we do it.

One day it dawned on me to check and see what other kinds of groups are out there.  WOW...there are millions.  I checked...

For a variety of carefully considered reasons, I switched over from AOL dial-up to Yahoo DSL browsing a few years ago.  There are many wonderful features to YAHOO about and although life on the cyber-range has not been totally without complications or "non-responding" issues, I have always felt that some of these problems were due to the fact that I cannot seem to totally divest my system of AOL software which may either deliberately or not screw things up from time to time.

I've been using google for at least 15 years and it's still one of my favorite search engines.  I appreciate the news on the front page, though I do wish they'd stop focusing so much on celebrity gossip.
