Yahoo! is getting ready to delete inactive Yahoo! email accounts and you can grab your favorite Yahoo ID emails you always wanted. It is a fresh move to clear millions of inactive accounts in their database, especially since Yahoo! has been one of the earliest email services and many users might have moved to other popular email services like Gmail and Outlook.
I remember once earlier they had offered dot email addresses and popular aliases like ymail and rocketmail. Ymail was a popular take on Gmail and in fact it is still available.
Old Yahoo! ID Available
Usually when email accounts are disabled, the general public cannot re-register the account name, maybe because they want to preserve the history (for example like Google Inactive Account Manager), in case users decide to come back. Under the new Yahoo! services revamp, Yahoo! announced that after 15 July 2013, they will flush out all inactive user accounts which have not tracked a single login in the last 12 months – and make them available for the general public to register again.
This is a great opportunity to register your favorite Yahoo! ID which you always wanted and get an email like yourname@yahoo.com. This a good move by Yahoo! to attract new users and improve the numbers of their active users. Note that the Yahoo! ID not only gives you a cool new email ID, it lets your account nickname be used across the entire range of Yahoo! services like Flickr, News, Weather etc.
Will they release the accounts instantly? It seems they will collect all the requests and by Mid August will release the Yahoo! ID to the new owners.
In mid July, anyone can have a shot at scoring the Yahoo! ID they want. In mid August, users who staked a claim on certain IDs can come to Yahoo! to discover which one they got
For Inactive Yahoo! users
On the other hand, if you are an infrequent Yahoo! user, its a good idea to login to your account once, else Yahoo! will delete your account, and anyone can register it. And its not only your Yahoo! email which goes, its your access across all Yahoo! services. Login today.
For Email List Managers
Since millions of Yahoo! email addresses will be deleted, you should check your email subscriber lists as all these inactive Yahoo! emails will bounce. It also means you needs to monitor your email list closely after 15 July to look for such accounts and save money as most paid list managers charge for subscriber numbers. Also if your email feed subscriber counts drop … it should not be surprising.

It is very important to add updated dates markup to your blog articles. Google and other search engines are tweaking their algorithms to favor fresh content. If you test your site on the structured data tool, it seems Updated date has become a necessary hentry requirement if you do microformats markup for all site pages. This is beside the article published date!
We have added the updated date to all our posts, besides the published post date. This is a good idea as people update old articles and content and this provides an official way for search engines to know when the content was updated. WordPress will save the date your content was updated and will help you publish the updated date easily.
What if you do not publish updated date?
If no Entry Updated element is present, it defaults to Entry Published element, and if that too is absent, then its invalid hAtom markup.
It is important that you add the post updated mark up to your html code and help search engines know when your post was last updated. Its is also important NOT to fool search engines like Google by labeling all content as updated today, if there are no changes in your page, because they are smart enough to detect changed content.
Markup Updated Date
How to markup the updated date?
Use this simple class updated to specify the updated date in your html code.
Can WordPress automatically display updated date?
Its easy. We use this code with the date and updated class. Then the the_modified_time php code prints the updated date automagically.
<span class="date updated"><time datetime="<?php the_modified_time('d/m/Y'); ?>"><?php the_modified_time('d/m/Y'); ?></time></span>
This code will publish the time your post was last updated. This is not the same as your post published date (which should have a published class). You can choose different date format than d/m/Y as allowed by PHP time tags to customize the updated date the way you like it.
For example Y/m/d g:i:s A will output the date as 2013/07/09 12:51:28 AM
Should you replace original date with updated date?
Readers would like to know when the content was published. Outdated content corrected for grammatical errors will give a new updated date, but that does not make the 5 year old news item new for the reader. So we prefer to keep both dates on our pages.
