Yahoo 360 Overview

SEARCH ENGINE JOURNAL -- May 17 -- Yahoo 360 is Yahoo’s “blogging local reviews social network friend finder” community which has yet to really take off in the States like Orkut did in Brazil.  I have about thirty-something invites left so if you want to join email me at [email protected].  It's a fun intermingled way of keeping a personal blog (or journal).  Intertwining local news and reviews with others’ opinions in your network is a powerful touch and Yahoo is definately doing a good job of integrating 360 into it's Local Search, Music and Groups.  “As a blog, Yahoo 360 lags behind the capabilities of Blogger, Multiply and Friendster blogs. Friendster has the best blog program among the four services but the URL it offers to its users is ridiculously long. Mobile phone blogging is such a pain to set up in Yahoo 360 — it’s centered on US telecom firms — and I eventually gave up.”  FULL ARTICLE @ SEARCH ENGINE JOURNAL

Mark Brooks: Yahoo always seems to do two things very well.  Firstly, it's services are always nice n simple.  No feature creep.  Just the services I need, laid out in a super-usable fashion.  Secondly, Yahoo is reliable and relatively fast.
