Yahoo!360 Social Networking is closing
Saturday, May 30th, 2009
This year 2009, Yahoo decides to shut down a couple of their services such as Yahoo Briefcase and Yahoo Geocities. It came to as no surprise that they’ll pull a plug also on their Yahoo!360 Social Networking as cost cutting measures. To be blunt, their social networking service lacks the technical bells and whistles that users usually favors. They would have a bit of success had they integrated that in the yahoo profile in the first place. Sad to say that yahoo is beginning to lose grip on their innovative vision.

Reasons why Yahoo 360 fails
|
As a user, I’m really wary of using any services from yahoo because of their company’s instability. Good thing that I’ve already moved on to Google’s services.
Dear Yahoo! 360° customer,
To read this in Vietnamese, please use the link at the bottom of the message.
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. Here are some details to guide you through this transition.
What you need to move to your new profile
Your 360° information will not be automatically transferred to your new profile on Yahoo!. To move your profile photo, nickname, and any personal status messages, you’ll need to first save or download them before July 13, 2009. Once you’ve saved this information, you can later upload it to your new profile. Be sure to head over to your new profile soon so you can make it look just the way you want.What to do with your blog
