Yahoo announced today two new e-mail domains that will give users the chance to register for an e-mail address using the new Yahoo! e-mail address at ymail.com and rocketmail.com.
Yahoo! Mail is the number one Web mail service in the world with more than 260 million users worldwide
E-mail addresses at the new domains will have the same Yahoo! Mail features as addresses at the yahoo.com domain, including:
- Unlimited storage – Yahoo! Mail provides all users with free unlimited e-mail storage
- Integrated Instant Messaging and Text Messaging – Users can connect in real-time to their contacts with Yahoo Messenger or Windows Live Messenger and send text messages right from their Yahoo! Mail inbox
- Country-specific e-mail account – When signing up for an e-mail account, users have the option of choosing localized country versions from each of the Yahoo! domains: yahoo.com, ymail.com and rocketmail.com
In addition, Yahoo! has reserved a number of desirable e-mail addresses, using the new domains and will put these e-mail addresses up for charity auction beginning on Thursday, June 19, 2008. Yahoo! is working with auction partners eBay Giving Works and Auction Cause. The proceeds from the auction will benefit the following organizations: The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Ocean Conservancy, Point Foundation, Right To Play and World Wildlife Fund.
To participate in the online auction, please visit http://www.ebay.com/ymail.
Yahoo’s mail sign up Crashed at launch time. lol Still isn’t working now.

I double checked the ebay link in the Yahoo press release and the one they listed is the one we posted.
Beyond that I don’t know what to tell you, but maybe their system crashing and the wrong link being posted, is an indication of why the company is in so much trouble
Interesting response
