Yahoo! Tunes into Blogging and Social Networking

aarthi_r writes "The social networking wars have finally begun, with Yahoo! coming out with it's very own Yahoo! 360, which combines blogging, social networking, music, mobile connectivity, local searches (for restaurants and businesses) as well as photo-sharing. With stiff competition from the early starters like Orkut it will be interesting to see if Yahoo! will succeed." If you want to log in, don't hold your breath- they aren't opening until the end of the month.

Anderson Cooper's gonna pwn yahoo's ass for this one. Pwn it like only the fat kid in dodgeball gets pwned. And why? Because he's got the hair.

What should we call the duopoly?

[bigtallmofo]

Since Yahoo and Google appear to be encroaching on each others territory now, I guess the only remaining thing to do is to name the duopoly between Yahoo and Google. Windows/Intel has always been called Wintel, for instance.

I prefer Yahoogle, but Goohoo isn't bad either.

Nah!

Goohole!

How does that sound? Bad, I suppose.

Social Networking? Meh.

Social engineering is where the real action is at.

I tell ya I get no respect.

Additionally, it will be fully buzzword-compliant.

360

is it just me or is 360 becoming the new X,i,e, extreme. You know, take something and append X,i,e or extreme on it and make it cool. Between Xbox 360 and yahoo 360 i am beginning to see a trend.
