Yahoo! 360: Not Yahoo Mash

Recently, many media reported that with the provision of Yahoo! Mash, Yahoo is planning to close Yahoo! 360 to switch to Mash service.

Along with the deployment of Mash is also the service of providing famous Blog applications and very high number of members in Vietnam - Yahoo! 360 (up to now is just a test version - Beta) will encounter many problems. For example, users will not be able to read new posts, confused old announcements, Yahoo! 360 does not work etc .

That makes the blogging community on Yahoo! 360 in Vietnam doubts and bewildered about whether "Yahoo closed Yahoo 360"; What is the roadmap of closing? The next step of Yahoo! Is 360 360 Mash . and so on. To answer these questions, on November 6, 2007, we had an interview with Mr. Jason Coates, senior manager of communications at the area of ​​Yahoo! Southeast Asia.

Is Yahoo about to close Yahoo! 360, how will the content conversion of bloggers on 360 to new services be implemented?

I would like to confirm that the Yahoo plan will transfer Yahoo! 360, including Blog content, friends list, images, nicknames . to a popular Yahoo! service. When Yahoo! Not yet announced the official details of this change, we are committed to ensuring the integrity of all users' Blog 360 content and helping them transfer Blog content to new services, minimizing loss. The relocation of users' information so smoothly and smoothly is our top priority.

Replacement service Yahoo! Is 360 360 Mash?

This service is not a Mash service that people are using. It has platform sharing capabilities like Mash, but is more flexible than the current 360 °. The new platform will feature blogging and we will provide users with a way to migrate existing blog content to the new platform.

How will you implement the transformation plan?

Yahoo! 360 will still be maintained and users do not have any doubts when continuing to use the service. When the migration is published, we will send a notification to Yahoo! 360 to be able to store all blog content and friends list.

In Vietnam, Yahoo! Messenger is the most used instant messaging tool (chat), so Yahoo! 360 ° quickly used widely in Vietnam. Movement using Yahoo! 360 ° boom in Vietnam in the first half of 2006. This boom is one of Vietnam's most remarkable IT and telecommunications events in 2006 according to the votes of some electronic newspapers.

Meanwhile, social networks follow rumors of Yahoo! "Mash" was released on September 14, 2007, after which Yahoo! has begun inviting people to participate in testing this service. According to Yahoo !, Mash is completely different from other social networks. With Mash, users can create profiles for friends and "open" their own profiles for their trusted friends. In Vietnam, there were a number of people who were invited to use Mash, but most did not perform operations to create an account.

Through consultation with the Yahoo!360 in Vietnam, we see, most are not excited about Mash, they hope 360 ​​still exists and Yahoo will improve this service.However, Yahoo has officially responded that it will close Yahoo!360 in the near future is promising to have an attractive alternative platform.Analysts said that the conversion will make many users uncomfortable, but with the number of Yahoo!Messenger as big as in Vietnam, it seems that Yahoo is not worried about this conversion.
