Technology Watch - Yahoo email and maps

Yahoo is doing pretty well IMHO in providing competition to Google's gmail. I was able to check their latest feature in Yahoomail today.

I received an email with an address in it. Yahoo recognized the lines which had the address and with a click of the mouse allowed me to see it on their new Yahoo maps. Not only that, in the same map page, I could type in the starting location and Yahoo would give me the driving directions.

Pretty neat !!

And if you receive a phone number in the email, Yahoo also allows you to save the number in your contacts list.
