Yahoo Tries Social Media From a New Angle

This is really inspiring. Maybe there will be a campaign like this to protest the issues associated with the corporatization of the media.

Yahoo Marketing

I´ve never heard about Yahoo Mash!
But I visited the website and it looks like a good social media.... I don´t know why it didn´t make success, perhaps the incompetence of Yahoo in marketing.

Yahoo's newer social bookmarking site is not that bad (myweb.yahoo.com). Only it does have some flaws in the sharing area. I think it would be better if there where more categories to see bookmarks in or some other way to get them other than using their search.

difficult when you only

difficult when you only worried about links and content,.... a new something out practically every week!

You look for something and get something else

It has always been the case of Yahoo and I feel terrible about it.

My Yahoo (my.yahoo.com) used to be different things - the third being the one personlised homepage you now see.

Yahoo Profiles (profiles.yahoo.com) used to provide options to add or edit yahoo messenger screen names.

I don't know about the day I log into Yahoo (yahoo.com) only to find Google's homepage.

Hehe. I am one of those

Hehe. I am one of those who have never heard of Mash. I will not be sad to see them go.

Yahoo what, Mash who ?

Never even heard about this one. Will try to keep an eye on what Yahoo does in the future with their social networking.

Yikes...

Backup, backup, backup. I bet someone got fired for that blunder.

There is only so much socialising one can do

It really is becoming a bit of a joke. I must be listed on five or more sites, with an invitaiton from about one new site per week. How do people keep up? I've put all new sites on hold.

By thebookabyss (WPN reader) - Sun, 10/19/2008 - 15:47

concur!

I agree. With the proliferation of social networking sites akin to rabits on viagra, i cant keep up either. I've determined to keep to my favs' and disregard all other invites for the time being....

Another Social Network?

I wonder if anyone will come up with a new innovative idea besides another social network!

oh and check out my site http://www.iyazam.com/

Keep existing users around?

Every single Yahoo user's profile became completely blank yesterday, and every one of the millions of users will have to log back into Yahoo and create a new profile from scratch to put that information back there.... if they even still have it backed up somewhere. How on earth is that "keeping existing users around?" If anything, I think it will drive some of us away.

I'm all for the social networking thing, but at least they could have migrated the information over and kept the profiles that had been public still public. As it is, those of us who don't want kids on the Yahoo groups we manage and don't want to hear from 18-year-old girls in Latvia in IM suddenly have no way to make those determinations. It's a too-little, too-late attempt at Facebook imitation and so far it's more destructive than constructive.

RE: Keep existing users around?

Valid points. Admittedly, I'm not much of a day-to-day Yahoo user myself, but I figured for the Yahoo "Die Hards" such a feature would be welcome (even if they had to re-input some data).

You might be completely right though. Perhaps it will annoy many users and drive them elsewhere. The point I was really getting at was that I didn't expect it to attract many new users.

RE: Keep existing users around?

Well, I think you're right about that; adding a bunch of me-too Facebook features is not going to make Facebook users suddenly go "Wow, I have to switch to Yahoo!"

I think what they're hoping for is stickiness, the "people use it and convince their friends to sign up for it" factor, which they already had with their instant messenger and have failed to accomplish with their prior attempts at social networking, 360 and Mash. But time will tell.

Yahoo, Social Networking!

I'm getting a headache from all of this social networking.....and I thought optimizing your website was difficult when you only worried about links and content,.... a new something out practically every week!
