Recently, Yahoo declared publicly about how the company will
soon let people claim any inactive user names in order to get them to use the
site. Although this would be considered as good news to most people (including
me), this has increased the interests of online security experts who are afraid
that the owners prior to the email might get their information stolen. Here,
the article first presented the company’s blueprint on its way of increasing
site users. This can be a good thing because many people have abandoned their
old accounts for new ones (including me). One possible reason why they did it
was probably because their email user name reflected their time when they made
it which can be embarrassing. Thankfully I’m not one of those people, but I would
like to add that this can be a good thing. As social media sites continue to
increase tremendously, more and more email accounts are being made which means
that the originality of a user name is decreasing. So why not reactivate
neglected email accounts? The cycle has to end somewhere and sometime in order
for a new one to begin, which brings me to the apparatus of the company’s
course of supporting the matter that was presented later on in the article. This
plan seems reasonable and fair for everyone. Instead of just automatically
putting the name up for grabs, Yahoo is trying to get websites to support their
course. It makes sense, I mean, what’s the point of using an abandon email address
for a website that currently interests you? Overall, if you aren’t using
something and careless about it, you might as well give it away. Yahoo might
just be the first company to start a new trend. One man’s trash is another man’s
treasure.
