Feeling unlucky to compete with Facebook, Yahoo will soon close the social network, Yahoo 360. According to its plan, this site will be closed in the coming July.
In fact, Yahoo 360 has been planned to close at the beginning of the 2009. Somehow, finally the closing is eventually delayed until the end of the mid-2009, precisely later on July 17. Thus as cited from PC World, Sunday (31/5/2009).
According to the Yahoo, the service is intentionally closed. Because since for the first time getting introduced in October 2007, Yahoo 360 has been less attracted by the majority of Yahoo users. Moreover, during the beta, there have been many criticisms to this application.
"At this time there is a feature profile on Yahoo 360 preferred by the user. However, we will explore new ways of combining and expressing yourself through your profile," said Yahoo spokesman Daniels.
Besides, many other lacks of the Yahoo 360 such as, it does not give users the rights to download their contents and move them to other popular blogs such as WordPress, blog owned by Google, Blogger.
Basically, Yahoo 360 is a communication portal that combines the features of social networking web sites, blogs, and the photo sharing. A user can create a personal web site, share photos from Yahoo Photos, maintain blog, various local reviews, profile information, and see online friends.
