Yahoo really did it this time, closing a decent 360 to move to one of the worst profiles available on the web.

True 360 was not the best social networking site on the web, mainly because it was run by a bunch of morons who to not have a clue (the same that are running the new Yahoo profile), who did not listen to users, who replace decent apps with lousy ones to justify the fact that they actually spent money buying them.

Now they offer, well, force us into the absolute worst social networking application on the web, not only that, but contrary to what they originally told us, a good part of the information we posted on Yahoo 360 will not transfer to Yahoo Profile unless we jump through hoops and go through cumbersome procedures to transfer what? Our most important asset, our friends and connections.

Social networking is about friends and connections, and they really screwed up on that one, one more proof (if we needed one) that they have no clue.

This time they really did it and I won't wait to find out how much worse they can make the experience for us and waste more of my time with Yahoo.

Like many others who have left since the announcement that Yahoo was going to close 360 and stopped maintaining the property (the traffic numbers are proof of it), it's time to move on and find a place that actually cares run by people who actually know what they are doing and really are focused on respecting their users and giving them a good experience.

It took Yahoo only a few years to achieve what airlines, banks, credit card companies and automobile manufacturers took decades to achieve, in a few short years, Yahoo became one of the worst companies on the web for customer experience, customer service and respect to their users.

So, bye bye Yahoo, there are other companies out there who care about their users, and guess what, they are making money, attracting investors, what was the last time that happened to Yahoo, maybe you should think about it, listen to us, you might ba able to get... well.. maybe some of it.

As far as I am concerned, Yahoo, in the world of social networking has become a "has been" and will eventualy become extinct, they should probably see the writing on the wall, but again, they would have to listen instead of being arrogant and save themselves a lot of money.

But again, they have not been known for their foresight, instead they have made a reputation from their screw ups.

Yahoo, you should stick to search engine technology where you are still good and stay away from venture that require you to deal with customers, you really do not have a clue of what it takes.

My next post will pretty much be to tell my friends where I move my profile to.

Dear Abby,
A couple of women moved in across the hall from me. One is a middle-aged gym teacher and the other is a social worker in her mid twenties. These two women go everywhere together and I've never seen a man go into or leave apartment. Do you think they could be Lebanese?
Dear Abby,
What can I do about all the Sex, Nudity, Fowl Language and Violence On My VCR?
Dear Abby,
I have a man I can't trust. He cheats so much, I'm not even sure the baby I'm carrying is his.
Dear Abby,
I am a twenty-three year old liberated woman who has been on the pill for two years. It's getting expensive and I think my boyfriend should share half the cost, but I don't know him well enough to discuss money with him.
Dear Abby,
I've suspected that my husband has been fooling around, and when confronted with the evidence, he denied everything and said it would never happen again.
Dear Abby,
Our son writes that he is taking Judo. Why would a boy who was raised in a good Christian home turn against his own?
Dear Abby,
I joined the Navy to see the world. I've seen it. Now how do I get out?
Dear Abby,
My forty year old son has been paying a psychiatrist $50.00 an hour every week for two and a half years. He must be crazy.
Dear Abby,
I was married to Bill for three months and I didn't know he drank until one night he came home sober.
Dear Abby,
My mother is mean and short tempered I think she is going through mental pause.
Dear Abby,
You told some woman whose husband had lost all interest in sex to send him to a doctor.
Well, my husband lost all interest in sex and he is a doctor. Now what do I do?

Barbara Walters, of Television ' s 20/20, did a story on gender roles in Kabul , Afghanistan
several years before the Afghan conflict.

She noted that women customarily walked five paces behind their husbands.

She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk behind their husbands.

From Ms .. Walters ' vantage point, despite the overthrow of the oppressive Taliban regime,
the women now seem to walk even further back behind their husbands, and are happy to maintain the old custom.

Ms . Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked,
'Why do you now seem happy with an old custom that you once tried so desperately to change? '

The woman looked Ms Walters straight in the eyes, and without hesitation said, ' Land Mines. '
