Yahoo To Launch Social Networking Portal

A new consumer-focused social networking offering from Yahoo will soon be launched in beta, according to information on the Yahoo website. Called new service will include a wide range of offerings including blogs and photo sharing. The most interesting aspect of the offering looks to be the way in which all the elements are tightly integrated into a broad social network service where you will be able to easily share and exchange information, chats, files, etc, with family and friends. Signing up for the service will be by invitation only, according to Yahoo (similar to how Gmail). This looks like the end of any speculation that TypePad service. I would imagine that Yahoo 360 will directly compete with this post late yesterday by Forrester Research. See also ZDNet. Neville Hobson is the author of the popular Crayon.
