Just interested to get views on the new type of messaging on yahoo.

Have you used it? Do you think yahoo are going to try and compete with facebook in time?

Thanks,
Pubby

Not a yahoo fan or user, but guess they are trying to replace Geocities, which they bizarrely recently closed down, after a huge outcry and with a loyal following.

They could have turned Geocities into the new Facebook. Framework and users was already there! Wonder if that decision will ever haunt them in years to come...

OK, so we have managed to get the domain, at some cost, and jumping through EU regulation hoops, thank god we are VAT registered and a Ltd, what a nightmare!

Anyway, the concept is up, and as you all know this will change dramatically, so only to be taken at face value, this is a joint venture between myself and a very capable tech/coder, we all join networks, forums, twitter etc to plug our businesses and services, even if we do use them personally aswell (I am guilty of this) so decided that this is the way forward (waiting for google to buy us out, in a year or two)

So come on guys have a nosey, beta release will be needing Pluggers, so follow it on twitter Plugged.it (Pluggedit) on Twitter

and see the first draft of the concept here www.Plugged.it Beta Release coming soon . . .

hmmm let me guess... I'm wondering if there is a "random template" somewhere in this joint venture

It's a great concept, except I never see my desktop, its always cluttered with other junk.

What I want to know, how are you going to fit this in with your biz directory, forum, cards site, normal design stuff, and your charity diet stuff

I think we need to clone you

I am doing a Hoover, he had his fingers in everything, when one of them starts making me millions, the rest will get all the PR, win win!

oh and http://www.twitter.com/randomtemplate is indeed the yin to my yang! I make things look good, he makes them actually work!

True, the Dam paid off, or was that Van Dyke?
