Yahoo Community Will Be Mix of Isolated Sites by Reuters (Apr 9)
Yahoo is putting its eggs in the social basket.
"But if Filo and new CEO Carol Bartz have their way, the kinds of social networking features available on Facebook will become part of many Yahoo websites and allow their users to network with each other without using Facebook. The company hopes the strategy will help link its disparate properties, bringing more advertising dollars and growth."
Watch for new features and version.
"In the next several months Yahoo will begin rolling out new versions of its most popular products, from Yahoo Mail to the Yahoo home page. A thread of social media features, including a common user profile, list of friends and regular updates about friends, will tie the family of Yahoo properties together."Posted by Gwen at April 11, 2009 03:20 PM
