Yahoo kicks off re-wiring project
Maybe they just need new batteries?
Yahoo users will soon have one place where they can manage all the services they use on the popular website. The company has begun a mammoth re-engineering project that will unify the disparate services Yahoo runs.
It hopes the project will transform the site into a vast social network where Yahoo users can quickly find and communicate with each other…
By re-engineering its internal workings it hopes to tear down the walls between its web sites and services so each user only has to visit one place to view and manage everything they do at Yahoo…
Mr Balogh said the changes would give users more control over how much information they share and make it much more straightforward to set up ad-hoc social networks with friends and family.
“We are not building another social network,” said Mr Balogh. “We are building social into everything we do.”
Being the sort of crank that I am, I hardly participate in “social” anything. But, it will be interesting to see what this does for Yahoo.
