Yahoo!Xtra Bubble Doesn't Blow

“Yahoo!Xtra Bubble” - sounds like a kind of gum, doesn’t it?  But it’s actually a new service that should soon become available to customers of Telecom New Zealand, and it’ll “offer a suite of premium services accessed through a personalised homepage - all at no extra cost.”

“Free” and “premium services” don’t usually go together (in reality, even if press releases promise the world), but in this case, Yahoo and Telecom NZ might deliver.  Users of Linka (“for new zealanders by new zealanders”) made note of both the impending release and its “awesome features.”

Hat tip to Geekzone, and a questioning look to whoever came up with Yahoo!Xtra Bubble’s name.
