Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] home page photo

I wouldn’t go that far just yet but I can understand why Yahoo is doing this. I look at the number of messages I get from the various groups and I see a trend that’s been happening for a few years now. People aren’t using email as much as they used to. I may get only a few emails per day that are related to the Yahoo groups.

I think more and more most are going to the web based forums. Back with slow network links and PCs email made sense because using a web browser mail list was painful at times. The down side of the email forums was that massive amount of junk mail that was targeted at list users.

So now we have faster PCs and faster networks and the web based forums are everywhere. So like rec.crafts.metalworking the original Yahoo mail list oriented group is probably gone. The Facebook model that has much better access to user web cookies and user behaviour creates a better advertising model.

And make no mistake. Yahoo, Facebook etc. are not service organizations. Like TV programs, what they provide is just the space between the commercials. That we tolerate infomercials on television shows that sometimes you don’t even need the space between commercials to have people watch.

Hi all,

since yahoo changed the format of the group, we are looking for a photo that might show what we are about or what we do here.

the photo has to match the width and height of the home page, very wide and not very tall.

if you have something that will fit, please put it in the new folder homepage.

Thanks !
