Yahoo's plan to launch Facebook-type features finally takes off
18 months and one CEO after this announcement http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/01/08...an-yahoo-life/ , Yahoo finally gets it together and launches Facebook-type features http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2009/08/...l-more-social/
http://i29.tinypic.com/2rpbchy.jpg This might mean new traffic/promotions possibilities for webmasters :pimp Among a host of changes to Yahoo’s online services, Yahoo said its main mail homepage will now feature updates on what the folks in your address book are sharing about themselves online – including status updates they’ve posted, photos they’ve shared, and their birthdays. The new mail page will also show the most recent emails just from the people you select as your “connections” – Yahoo’s term for “friends.” |
yahoooooo

yahoo sucks... i stopped using it when i got my first gmail account. it's too slow, too hard for using, too many banners... any other social community is much better...

I stop using Yahoo when they gave up on Yahoo Chat.
Yahoo chat had so much potential... |
Yahoo Mail has gone to shit over the last couple of months. Used to be rock solid and now it's completely fucked.
|
Interesting, gonna take a look.

little late to the game. shouldnt they have done that 5 years ago. or what about aol. what happened to them? opps

There are too many chefs in the kitchen at the mega sites like Yahoo, AOL and MSN. Those services are just a big mess.
This will fail just like Yahoo's 360 service that was supposed to compete with MySpace. Quote:
If Yahoo were smart they would have taken the high traffic user created rooms and made similar room names for permanent use after the change. But there was no effort at all to keep chatters on board. Then of course the spam bots filled the rooms up shortly after that and sealed the Yahoo Chat coffin. |

besides mail, I won't use Yahoo for anything else....They're too fickle with what they're doing and will drop something and leave a user stranded with no notice....They're like the ARS of mainstream.
And this is coming from someone who built his business from yahoo clubs/groups WAY back in the day.... |
One thing I notice is that tons of customers have yahoo email addresses. By far the more yahoo then anything else.
|
I'm sure they will wrap it up with a gazillion banner ads and text ads so you can't figure out what to click.

Yahoo today is so bloated. The content is too controlled and its becoming a relic. Have you see the new profiles for Yahoo? The profile suck ass. |

How come they want to start being agressive when they promote facebook in their portal page? I find Google Wave (coming very soon) with more potential |
