Yahoo 360

#

Got an invite some time to join Yahoo 360 back and have started seeing more and more blogs on Yahoo 360. Seems interesting, but quite intimidating. There are a lot of things there which can be tweaked around and used, but I for one want to make a selective blog, and I have to be very careful with all the settings, so I have been quite turned off with it.

I have made two suggestions, which, if implemented, will make me really go there and use it:

1. Multiple blogs per yahoo ID. I don’t want to create multiple ID’s for multiple types of blogs - family blogs vs public blogs vs professional blogs, for example.
2. Multiple contributors per blog. If I want multiple people write to the same blog, I cannot do it right now. I want to create a ‘team blog’ for my family members, for example and this feature would help a lot.

Other than that, I am ready to get hooked to yahoo completely. I think their My Yahoo is awesome with the ability to pull in RSS feeds from external sources and such. I think their mail is one of the better free email services today. I think their new Music program (see another post) is pretty nifty too. Add to that a solid toolbar, a great messenger program, and you have a full suite of excellent products.
