Yahoo Mail Innovates, Gmail Stagnates
Yahoo Mail has begun rolling out of beta after releasing an onslaught of innovative feature improvements along the way. On the other hand, a whopping three years into their beta release, Gmail remains one of the most popular but stagnant web-based beta email apps around.
To me Yahoo is really continually improving the service, not innovating. Still an interesting exploration of visible improvement.

Yahoo mail delivers me far less spam than Gmail, although for my business I use Gmail because conversational grouping is quite handy.
