Goodbye Yahoo Briefcase (We Hardly Knew Ye)
Feb 26th, 2009 by Xangis
I received a message today saying that the Yahoo Briefcase site is shutting down and that files stored there would no longer be available after a certain date. It came as a bit of a surprise because I had no idea that the site still existed.
It turns out that I stored a couple Word and Excel documents there in the winter of ‘04-’05. As a testament to the usefulness of the site, I promptly forgot that it existed.
It’s not that the site was bad, or broken, or anything of the sort. It just wasn’t anywhere near as useful as a USB thumb drive.
Smart move on Yahoo’s part. Sounds like they’re moving up in the world.
