Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

However, you're far more likely to be using hotmail for business purposes
(for example, as a quick email solution when on a client site) than when
uploading photos to Yahoo.

[admin stuff - can we please take this to thechat, and y'all owe <tips>]

Cheers
Martin

When developing a list of things which you'll need to build into a
site, remember to document *everything* - don't assume you'll get
anything unless you document it. This includes search...

I just have to say, I'm not even sure MS was FIRST with this. Yahoo! has
all
those clubs, and if you post pictures or content to any Yahoo club, it
states in the Agreement that *they* suddenly own your material. So, post
that family picture, but remember if you do you give the pic to Yahoo. Post
an original poem on such a site, and you have lost your ownership of your
original work. Anyone who thinks this stuff is "free" needs to read the
Terms of any Agreement they accept.
