Yahoo Finally Discovers Social Networking And Blogs
from the took-'em-long-enough dept
Well, it took them long enough. Now that people have pretty much stopped talking about social networking sites, Yahoo is getting into the game with a combined social networking/blogging/photo sharing/etc. tool that basically seems to take everything that had buzz from the past few years and clump it all together. It's not a huge surprise, of course. People had been expecting Yahoo to get into this business for ages -- and there have been plenty of rumors about them buying some of the independent players in the space. While the details seem to suggest that there's something more, it still sounds like a me-too play. It'll be interesting to see if they can do anything to make it more interesting.

Whoa Mr. Negativity! ;)
Don't worry, they'll go broad over time. The big thing is that they completed the microcontent stack (going deep); the groundwork is laid.

What if
social networking is enthusiastically taken up... but by crowds carrying signs like this?

Re: What if
The same crowd also recently cut their own fingers off in front of the embassy because of a territorial dispute over an island. It caused the ambassador to flee the country in terror.
