Yahoo's new killer app

Sorry, but I can't find any sign of an "Open Messaging Service" by Yahoo anywhere. I can't find clients, I can't find sources. The OP doesn't cite a single post but brazenly makes broad assertions with nothing to back them up.

Citations, links, anything, please?

Edit: Apparently the post is fictional. I didn't realize this when I skimmed it.

This is the most confusing blog post I've ever read. Is this guy on planet earth?

It appears to be a projection of what could be, if Yahoo! followed through with juntos' vision.

This is indeed an article from the future! (notice how it says "Two years ago Edward Snowden released..."). It is basically saying that Yahoo has a serious opportunity on their hands if they want to disrupt email right now.

Trusting coporations with our private communications has been disastrous so far. Perhaps we should find ways to take out the middle man and communicate more directly. P2P or federation perhaps?
