I selected it carefully after going through a couple of options. I was happy with Yahoo services and was hoping that 360 will provide good serives too. That was in 2006. Too bad they have to shut it. It still contains my first-ever three posts. Looking back at them now, they do seem kiddish now[;)]. At times, I like to go and read them and savour the deja vu. I think trying to make it all at once, and failing in even one was what lead to the demise of 360. Looking back, it was a decent product when started, just that they failed to add newer features to it and (more importantly) market it properly. 360 deserved a seperate division in Yahoo. Perhaps '360 - from Yahoo' could have worked better than 'Yahoo 360'. Dunno .... the things always look very clear in hindsight. Isn't it? ;) Yahoo 360 was the first place I ever blogged on.
