Forget the Search Wars, It's Mail Wars!

Here are a few highlights and quotes from Yahoo's meeting with analysts that took place today in California.
+ Yahoo has announced that they will offer 100MB of free storage space for Yahoo Mail users.
+ Customers who pay for access to Yahoo Mail will have "virtually unlimited storage" space.
+ A "face-lift" of Yahoo Mail will debut this summer.
+ "'We will continue to lead and not follow,' said Dan Rosensweig, Yahoo's chief operating officer. 'We know where the Internet is going.'"
+ "Yahoo gave Google credit for its leadership position in online searching ? an area where Yahoo is spending heavily to gain an advantage. In Thursday's presentation, Yahoo rated its search brand strength as "moderate" while praising Google's as 'strong.'"
+ "'All we want to do is win and it's the only thing that excites us,' Semel said, who added that the company's management bench has expertise in all forms of media and everything that relates to the Internet."

and in other Yahoo News...
CNN, SI.com, and CNNMoney Switch to Yahoo Search
As of today (this new arrangement was first reported in April) all of these sites are offering search "powered by" Yahoo. Until today these sites offered search "enhanced" by Google. CNN has had an advertising deal with Overture since late 2002. Thanks to L.C. for the tip.
