I guess this wouldn’t count as things Yahoo! never imagined, but I wonder if the web services could include a new interface for Yahoo! Briefcase. Wrap it into the Mail Beta functions somewhere.

Yeah, fortunately most of what I have planned is a talk, not a demo. So unless Keynote dies on me, I *should* be okay. Now that I’ve just said that, I’ve doomed myself.

Ryan, good luck with the demo! I just had my big product launch at DEMO today. It didn’t exactly go smooth (tech difficulty followed by a confused camera man), but the good news is everyone woke up, and they all remembered my demo afterwards..

so the moral is, even if you mess up, it’s not the end of the world. Just do it with a smile, and people will be happy.

Guillaume, my expectations are for people to come up with things we never imagined. Completely new ways of working with your mail and entirely new mashups of mail with whatever other service you can get your hands on.

Surprise us, that’s my expectation.

This seems to be an interesting idea. Now I am wondering what kind of services could be developped around Yahoo! Mail. Do you have any expectations?
In the Yahoo! Group you said:
“The web service allows programmers to access Yahoo! Mail
accounts so they can build new and exciting (we hope) mail-related applications.”
Now apart from notifiers or desktop clients (which already exist) I don’t really see what else could come out.
or maybe would it be plug-ins to Yahoo! Mail (?)
