Dear Yahoo! 360° customer,
We will be officially closing Yahoo! 360° on July 13, 2009, to focus our efforts on making your new profile on Yahoo! the place where you connect with the people who matter to you most. As a result, you will need to move your 360° information to your new profile before this date. After July 12, 2009, your content on Yahoo! 360° will no longer be accessible.
But who cares?
I am not trying to be mean and sound ridiculous!
Yahoo 360 was already not very functional anyway. I had a yahoo 360 profile. I actually encouraged many of my friends to be connected through 360.yahoo.com.
Here is my two cents on yahoo 360:
The good parts:
- One can nudge, and leave a message.
- The idea of "Blast message" was father of microblogging(?)
- easy connection
Bad parts:
- No adsense (ha ha what a joke!)
- I mean no frameworks for flexible page elements.
- Only three feeds allowed to be displayed
- not easy to navigate
- creepy header with yahoo ads
To me what made me leave 360 platform was the fact that there was no blogger tool available. I could do no experiments and the navigation was always nightmare. It was very rigid and yet claimed to be a blog tool! Good decision that they are closing! It will allow them to concentrate on something useful.
मलाई चाँहि चिन्ता पर्यो नि सर !
ReplyDeleteI too had an account but used it very rarely. Good decision from Yahoo!
ReplyDeletedid you guys have the account in yahOO!360?
ReplyDeleteI suppose face book has eaten other social networks ...
;)
It's a very good decision is yahoo has decided to discontinue its unsuccessful ventures (like 360 and Geocities) With new ventures like Yahoo! OMG coming up, I know where Yahoo exactly wants to go... I wish good luck to Yahoo.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure about the future of OMG and shine either!
ReplyDeleteHowever, I want a stronger yahoo... so that there will always be some sense of competition.
