Taking Yahoo 360 For A Spin

What a dilemma - six invitations to sign up to Yahoo 360°, the new social networking offering from Yahoo that launched in beta earlier this week. Which do I choose? So as not to offend anyone, I've accepted the first one I received based on the email date/time stamp.

And that was from Mike Manuel. Thanks again, Mike. So I've started my own blog there with this friendly URL - http://360.yahoo.com/nevon360. Do drop by and say hello! I hope to spend a bit of time in seeing what Yahoo 360 is all about. May even post a review of some kind. Meanwhile, you can read what two of our fellow bloggers have to say:

* Steve Rubel: Yahoo! 360 Reviewed
* BL Ochman: Yahoo!360 Beta is Kinda Buggy But Interesting

What I find interesting as well is how everyone seems to have dropped the degree symbol from the name, as in Yahoo 360 rather than Yahoo 360°. I'm sure that's because it's just a load of bother to hunt around to find the degree symbol on a typical PC keyboard (it's Alt-0176 on a Windows keyboard, if you really want to know). I also note that Steve and BL, at least, include the exclamation mark in Yahoo's name, something I tend not to. Why not just make it Yahoo 360? No symbols, no exclamation marks, just keep it simple.
