I ranted on TEoF a while back about the lack of an ad-free option for Yahoo! Groups. It was just a matter of time, of course. Currently, they're doing a survey to research the reaction to a Yahoo! Group Premium. The Premium service they describe includes higher limits on storage and number of group members, priority customer service, as well as "advertisements removed from email messages." Oy. I hope that doesn't mean they'd plan to include the obnoxious interstitials in the web interface. Personally, I'd pay just for the removal of all the ads. Either way, it's a step in the right direction. Actually, I'm kind of annoyed with Yahoo (maybe I'm just cranky lately) and would like to see someone else offer a Yahoo Groups killer instead. (Some unknown probably already does.) <via TEoF>
