Yahoo's Briefcase to shut down

r-onlineinformation.blogspot.com

Yahoo, as a part of trimming down excess baggage, has decided to shut down its 10-year-old online storage program -- the Yahoo Briefcase.
The company has cited low usage and popularity of the service when compared to its other services like Flickr and Mail as reasons for pulling the plug.
Users have been provided a March 30 deadline to retrieve their data stored online. Yahoo adds that discontinuing the service will allow them to focus their efforts on more broadly used products.
This comes days after new Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz took charge and is on a mission to save the Internet giant with a series of tough measures that included even more lay-offs, pay cuts and salary freezes.
Those of you who still use the service might as well save all your files back to your PCs before the March 30 deadline - lest you lose your data permanently.
