Apple Notes New .Mac Login Links

by , 4:40 PM EDT, June 13th, 2007

Apple Inc. sent an e-mail to .Mac customers Wednesday letting them know where to find a .Mac login with the new look at the company's Web site. With the old look and feel, there was a .Mac tab, but the new simplified site has no such tab. Instead, the letter directs .Mac users to the new "Mac" tab.

"You'll now find a convenient .Mac login link under the new Mac tab," the company said in the letter. Unfortunately, that's corporate speak for "scroll down the 'Mac' page and look for the .Mac login midway down on the right side." That said, Apple did remind customers that the best way to login to .Mac is to simply go to Mac.com.

Left side, not right, but unfortunately substantively accurate as to the general point. .Mac has been shuffled to the side, at least w/r/t the apple.com website.

www.mac.com still goes to the dotmac page. I always found that easier than going to Apple.com and having to click on tab anyway.

I just have a bookmark for the .mac page, too - I was more bemoaning the fact that this seems to be yet another minimization and marginalization of the service. Overpriced and underdeveloped as it is, it's now almost being 'hidden from view' on the main Apple website.

Not only that, but now they have links to my .mac web pages created in iWeb under .... "My Pages". Before today they didn't, and there was no easy way to locate a URL for one of your pages if you didn't already have it bookmarked.

Perhaps I'm missing something important, but why not just bookmark the login page? With Firefox and Camino, you can define a keyword for that bookmark. I type ".mac" in the location bar and it takes me to the login page. On the other hand, perhaps I'm just too simple-minded.

<webmail.mac.com> has worked ever since .Mac mail became available on the web.
