Comments on: Yahoo! 360 Closing Shop. How Confident Are You With Your Blogging Service Provider?

The security and peace of mind that I get from paid sites is the reason why I do not go for free websites. Although it’s hard to believe a company as big as yahoo is doing this.

Well it isn’t really worth the effort on a world wide web to maintain a regional site. Maybe Yahoo can come up with something better

Too bad 360 is closing. I did try maintaining a blog there but I forgot I had an account there. I personally maintain a blog on livejournal. And that one has been up and about 5 years now. I wish the users can transfer their posts without any hitches. Though it would definitely be cumbersome.

It is better to go with self hosted blog rather than the free services.

I have open ID through wordpress (which means a free blog account too). And I am confident they will continue also.

I’ve always said that building a web presence on a “Free” hosting platform is a recipe for success.

When I was growing up, there was a lake front community owned by a church where the homeowners would build traditional homes with lake frontage – the only “catch” was that the homeowners did NOT own the land – they leased it from the community.

It always bothered me – building a house on “rented” ground. Building your business blog on a free platform is even riskier!!!

This is the reason why I don’t go in for all theses social and free Bloging sites.
Once they pull the plug you pretty much lose everything you have worked hard to achieve.

I had used yahoo around six months ago, but I am not quite satisfied with their services. I would rather go to a smaller service provider, where you get good support.

Thats too bad. It was a real nice blogging platform and Google indexed and ranked those sites very highly. I actually thought if there was one that they would get rid of, it would have been Geocities. Since Geocities was not really user or search engine “friendly”. Oh well, there are so many free blogging platforms, that most will not feel the loss, except the bloggers that have spent a lot of time and effort in building a great blog at 360.

I’ve been blogging since 1996, or perhaps earlier. Back then, I was considered very strange for putting my diary online for others to read.

I still use sites such as LiveJournal, but it’s risky to depend on websites owned and controlled by others. That’s why I’m going back to my own hosted website and my own domain.

For those who’ve been blogging on Yahoo 360: I hope your transition to another option is as easy as possible. “Easy” or not, transferring a large number of blog entries can be time consuming and frustrating. I wish Yahoo 360 users the very best of luck.

Je ne pense pas que le problème de YAHOO se généralise à tous les services de blogs. Je reste confiant
