Yahoo! Tunes into Blogging and Social Networking

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the welcome-to-the-club dept.

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.

  1. EDS Doesn't Have a Clue! by Necrotica · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    "From a corporate perspective, we are not confident where Linux is right now today. A large enterprise needs to be sure because it relates to securifying [sic] the environment. We see some of the same things occurring that did to Unix -- it could splinter into many different types of languages. We are quite cautious about Linux and its deployment," said Rasmussen." If I were a company looking to outsource my IT, EDS just talked themselves out of it. First of all, I don't know how anyone could securify anything. Second of all, I thought Unix was an operating system, not a language. It appears to me that Mr. Rasmussen has no idea what he is talking about and is obviously in WAAAAAY over his head. That's embarassing.
