What a dilemma – six invitations to sign up to Yahoo 360, the new social networking offering from Yahoo that launched in beta earlier this week. Which do I choose? So as not to offend anyone, I’ve accepted the first one I received based on the email date/time stamp.
And that was from Mike Manuel. Thanks again, Mike. So I’ve started my own blog there with this friendly URL – http://360.yahoo.com/nevon360. Do drop by and say hello! I hope to spend a bit of time in seeing what Yahoo 360 is all about. May even post a review of some kind. Meanwhile, you can read what two of our fellow bloggers have to say:
* Steve Rubel: Yahoo! 360 Reviewed
* BL Ochman: Yahoo!360 Beta is Kinda Buggy But Interesting
What I find interesting as well is how everyone seems to have dropped the degree symbol from the name, as in Yahoo 360 rather than Yahoo 360. I’m sure that’s because it’s just a load of bother to hunt around to find the degree symbol on a typical PC keyboard (it’s Alt-0176 on a Windows keyboard, if you really want to know). I also note that Steve and BL, at least, include the exclamation mark in Yahoo’s name, something I tend not to. Why not just make it Yahoo 360? No symbols, no exclamation marks, just keep it simple.
