Is Yahoo 360 really being taken down?

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.

There's no point in contacting Y!360 about it because they are no longer fixing bugs.
