About their e-mail.. While their new interface product was in beta, it was an amazing classic e-mail interface that included an API and features left missing when it was released as the default mail application. In one day it was replaced by a boring, minimal feature set with a lacking positive experience in its whole. While Yahoo! is still one of the leaders in web based e-mail, I am certain Yahoo! can do to Tumblr what they did to e-mail in just one day.
