i agree that we are not the target market but still, we are the early adopters, and if they dont make it easy for us, well then, we just wont bother telling anyone that its worth visiting. theres the rub.

Bud-

I know we’re beta testers, it says so on the website.

As a beta-tester, I wanted to give my feedback, which I did.

And my feedback was heard by at least one Yahoo employee. :)

Oddly, I revisit this post.

One thing, you and I are really like beta testers. Probably less than 1% of surfers have used most of these social services (LinkedIn being a possible exception). I think Yahoo is basically saying to themselves that social services to this point are very beta and unused, so why not start afresh.

Isn’t it interesting that the only nexus point for all your social networking sites is… the browser? Hmm, if only there were a smarter browser. Damn.

Excellent point, Ryan. I joined the thing to try it out because Niall said it was hot stuff, but it took me 15 minutes to invite three contacts and bookmark four pages, while reinventing a bunch of tags. Meanwhile I’ve got tons of stuff on Flickr, Furl, my OS X Address Book, and delicious.
