Why On Earth Is Yahoo Getting Rid of 360?

Question

They claim their new "universal" blog site is going to be better. Why not fix what was working and keep on top

of things instead of messing everything up? Motto: If it

ain't broke, don't fix it. If it is broke, work on it to fix it."

Don't start all over again, Yahoo! Team. No wonder

Microsoft wanted to buy out Yahoo. They have the answers.

What it all boils down to is the fact, that the parallel existence of the main Yahoo profiles and the 360° profiles has been confusing, plus more and more people grew fond of social networking tools like facebook. And since facebook or a similar service couldn't be bought, Yahoo decided to create something similar. They hope that they will gain more customers that way and also loose less market value.
