"Yahoo! has announced that it will reset and redistribute all usernames that have been inactive for more than a year. Users will be able to request the newly-available IDs from the middle of next month, but will not find out whether their bid was successful until mid-August.  &amp;quot;If you&amp;#039;re like me, you want a Yahoo ID that&amp;#039;s short, sweet, and memorable like albert@yahoo.com instead of albert9330399@yahoo.com,&amp;quot; said Yahoo! senior VP of platforms Jay Rossiter.  &amp;quot;A Yahoo ID is not only your email address, it also gives you access to content tailored to your interests - like sports scores for your favourite teams, weather in your hometown, and news that matters to you.&amp;quot;  The housekeeping initiative is part of CEO Marissa Mayer&amp;#039;s ongoing attempt to revamp the web giant. Yahoo! has already completed an acquisition of blogging site Tumblr, revamped its homepage and rolled out an array of new apps during her tenure. Yahoo! users have until July 15 to log into an inactive account to keep hold of the username. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
