I received an invite to Yahoo 360
Well I just received an invite to Yahoo 360 from Erik Thauvin (thanks Erik!). It's Yahoo's blog/social-networking app. My threadbare Yahoo 360 blog lives here: http://360.yahoo.com/jonathan_aquino.
I don't know about you, but I want my blog to be preserved for eternity. That's why I signed up with Blogger -- Google's stewardship of the Usenet archives has shown me that they are committed to preserving user-created content for the long haul. Another candidate is OurMedia.org, backed by the Internet Archive which has altruistically maintained snapshots of a good portion of the web since 1996, under the leadership of the eccentric Brewster Kahle. So they too have proven their commitment.
I don't know about Yahoo though... Their culture screams commercialism to me. I don't know if I want to hand my data over to them, for fear of it being deleted. Case in point: Yahoo Mail deletes all your mail if you don't log for a certain period of time. This is an example of stinginess toward the customer. Counter-example: GMail, which offers 1 GB of space and email forwarding -- probably the only free webmail service to offer these features.
I'll take generosity over stinginess any day.
(If you want a Yahoo 360 invite, send me an email. I've got 100 to give out.)
