Yahoo plans to reallocate inactive email addresses

It's good to see that Yahoo are going to re-release a whole bunch of inactive email addresses very soon.


This has long been a bone of contention.  It's so hard to get the email handle you want because all of the good ones were snapped up long ago.

The trouble is that even when they fall into disuse they are never released to be re-registered.  Some of the best ones have been out of circulation for over a decade.

I hope that other leading providers will follow Yahoo's lead and clean up their email bases so that we can all have a shot at picking up a flash address.
