Is yahoo 360 closing?

Yes they are here is the link that tells what they are doing. http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-1qCkw2Ehaak.hdNZkEA...

What other people call "closing", I call "reconstruction."

Yahoo has decided to combine it's 3 services (360, Mash, and the regular Yahoo Members Profile) that basically accomplish the same thing (i.e. telling the world about yourself) into one service. They just haven't pinned down the "how" of creating this "universal profile".

So, if there are things that you do like about Yahoo! 360 that you would like to see remain in tact, you should state those aspects on the Y!360 team's blog at http://blog.360.yahoo.com/product_360 . That is also where you can read about the changes in store for Y!360.

However, many people are going to the startup Multiply.com . Some people are scared of change, some are fed up with Yahoo, some don't like the uncertainty, some feel that Multiply is an acceptable backup in case they don't like the changes, and etc.

I am patiently waiting for the changes to come, which will be in early 2008. I just don't find it necessary to start jumping around to other services - especially new and unproven ones - yet. Just manually backup your content and there shouldn't be much of an issue. There may be some downtime at some point, but Yahoo claims to be creating a transfer tool to move your content & friends to the new platform. The 360 service is pretty buggy right now, but not impossible to use and it's still one of the securest networking services around.

The Evolution of Yahoo! 360

On Yahoo!’s Q3 Earnings call today, it was announced that we intend to transition Yahoo! 360 to a more integrated Yahoo! experience in early 2008. I want to provide additional information on this news and assure you that we will minimize any disruption to you and our valued Yahoo! 360 community. I also want to assure you that you can still use all the features of Yahoo! 360 until this transition takes place in early 2008.

We will be sharing specifics of this transition over the next several months, but I can tell you today that Yahoo! 360 will transition to a new universal Yahoo! profile that will be closely tied to other relevant services across Yahoo!, and will include improved blogging capabilities.

With the announcement of this transition, we assure you:

We will preserve your Yahoo! 360 blog content, profile photo, nickname, and friends lists during and after the transition We will provide the right tools to move your blog content; We will give you ample notice before this transition begins in early 2008.

The vibrant community that has flourished on Yahoo! 360 is important to many people, and it is important to Yahoo!. Providing a smooth transition is a top priority for us, and we want to emphasize that we are committed to preserving your blog content and friends lists throughout the transition.

Many of you have asked if Mash, Yahoo!’s experimental profile service, will replace Yahoo! 360. We know this is an important question for many of you, and even more so given this news. We don't have all the answers today, but we are testing solutions, including Mash, in order to provide a more integrated universal Yahoo! profile throughout the Yahoo! network.

We hear your concerns. We are listening to your feedback, and we are committed to providing a more useful, engaging, and valuable service in the future.

Best, Matt Warburto
