Feedback on Yahoo Web Services

Today i got a Letter that reminded me of Yahoo 360, This also brings in your mind Delicious and Flickr. I would like to give a feedback i was using Yahoo 360 a few years and even Delicious and Flickr of Yahoo!.

Delicious is excellent in engineering. fast to use and very little learning effort. Flickr is another amazing application. Both are classic web application service examples which are immensely popular due to the simplicity and compulsive social or community integration.

Yahoo 360 is on the other end of the appreciation gradient, it has to be re-engineered like Delicious and the blog feature scrapped. Ideas on how a blog or community building for Yahoo 360 could be can be learnt from StumbleUpon.

StumbleUpon is a masterpiece webapp service, It has probably more image and CPU load than Yahoo 360, but works smoothly and loads fast. A lot can be learnt from this service in successful social networking and collaboration. Even though in every service there will be spam, but that is another aspect.

It would be good if yahoo integrated photos (media), bookmarking, blogging and community in one Yahoo! 360; inspired by StumbleUpon usability. Yet Delicious and Flickr can be used independently as it has a loyal and huge user-base.
