Circle is open now

Yahoo! 360° is now open for a public beta.

360 pixels

This photo is by Ernie, one of the Yahoos who has worked on 360° ; that 360° logo was created out of pixel blocks (whatever that means).

Leave a comment (with a valid email address) if you need an invite.

P.S. Remember, 360° is not blogs, blogs is one aspect of 360°. Read this review to understand what it is really about.

P.P.S. The only thing I really don’t like is the name 360°, I wish they had stuck with Mingle.

  17. simy_hanx Says:

    May I have one?Thanks!

  18. Vigvg Says:

    Hmmm… after all that… if you still have invites left over and are in the mood to accomodate invite-mongers like myself, then do let me in !

  19. Pramod Biligiri Says:

    Looks nice over all. I hope it has something that makes me check it every day..else it’ll stagnate. Even I liked the name “mingle” much more.

  24. Ankit Malik Says:

    me too… just made a new id for it… ankit_scribbler AT yahoo dot COM… please anyone please…

  25. Praveen A Says:

    Hey Swaroop,
    I need a slice of 360 too.

  26. Ankit Malik Says:

    This is RIDICULOUS > Only for above 18… I mean how do they decide that visiting chatrooms is ok for under-18s but not blogging????

  27. Ankit Malik Says:

    how did u manage that degree sign?

  28. Swaroop C H Says:

    All of you must have got invites from now… I’ve become a 360 invite factory :lol:

  29. Swaroop C H Says:

    Ankit: Chatting and blogging are really two different things, but then I am not sure why they chose 18 as the cut-off. You are underage?? :P

    `°` is the XHTML entity used for degree sign.

  30. vivek Says:

    Please invite me too if possible, many thanks

  31. Ankit Malik Says:

    “Ankit: Chatting and blogging are really two different things, but then I am not sure why they chose 18 as the cut-off. You are underage?? :P

    ° is the XHTML entity used for degree sign.”

    Of course.. Am I not the ‘new kid on the block’! Then I got to be underage… But this is something really sick… I mean no blogging till you are 18 or Papa Yahoo will slap you…. !:(( :( Wait… I am already drafting a message for Y! Bosses/concerned to change that roadblock … will you forward it to the concerned? is that possible?

  32. Swaroop C H Says:

    Ankit: Sure, I will forward it.

  33. Ankit Malik Says:

    hi… check scribbler.tk for my reply to their underage policy… more of a rant rather than a formal request to allow kids/underage to use yahoo 360… but just one voice ..hope their will be more!

    btw searched google and found no one complaining about this :( maybe all are hiding their DoBs to use this ;-) but no i am not gonna do that :(

  34. Noorul Islam Says:

    I need one

  35. Philip Says:

    Mingle suggests dating.

    Your site’s search box obnoxiously grabs focus when the page loads. I don’t think 99% of the visitors to your site have search as the first thing on their agenda. Scrolling down is what they’re most likely to do.

  36. Noorul Islam Says:

    Thousands of thanks for the invite.

  37. mcw Says:

    I will be very happy if you can send me a invite to Y360

    Thank you!

  38. Swaroop C H Says:

    Philip: Mingle means friends getting together too, but I personally feel any word would have been better than a number.

    Are you talking about my swaroopch.info site? I have never faced any problem with the search box. It sits in a tiny place in the sidebar, I don’t see how it could grab 99% of the screen estate. You might have an incomplete page loaded, so try refreshing your browser.

    please send me one invitation.Thank you.
