Google's Gmail has certainly inspired Yahoo! Not only did Yahoo! increase its storage, but it has now acquired Oddpost, which is an email interface with news aggregator. It looks like a great application. But this is what most intrigues me:

In addition to doing all that is necessary, Oddpost also does most of that which is charmingly unnecessary. You can, for example, choose one of several uproarious built-in sounds to play whenever new mail arrives, or better yet, specify a URL to your favorite song clip, movie quote, or any other wav or mp3 on the web. And how many times have you resorted to “hello” or a mind-numbing “yo” as the subject for an email? With Oddpost, a single click on a new message’s Subject: label summons the mysterious powers of the Subject-O-Matique to generate a thought-provoking subject for you.

Subject-O-Matique? I like these guys.
