Umm, "...and the much less popular Yahoo Tech . . ."
by thepixelarchitect March 30, 2008 9:14 PM PDT
According to ComScore, Yahoo! Tech consistently generates more
monthly PVs than CNET Reviews, so what does that say about the
CNET offering?

I guess CNET is much, much less popular???

Why not improve Yahoo?

Clean up the quirks in Yahoo and we'd use it more. Shine sounds like Yahoo's overspending on the wrong stuff. This is inspiring me to head off to Bloomberg.com and check out possible short sales of the stock...

Yahoo following vertical trends
by aloredo March 31, 2008 8:04 AM PDT
As important as APEX is to Yahoo, they've finally figured out that verticals is the way to go if they want premium brand advertising. Check out this story on USA Today with one of the most relevant media organizations for women -- Martha Stewart.

The key factor is authority, and Martha Stewart developed that over the years with her audience. I don't think Yahoo can develop this overnight.

Is this ugly?

Funny that's what they grabbed for the screen capture. Are poorly executed me-too verticals ugly? Do we even have to ask? Bring back TK or sell this beast to MS but get it out of the purgatory Yahoo's Yang and Semel boxed it into.

Oh this is sooo cool...

...they should start one for guys, merge the two and call it Yahoo 360. Push ad's for women at our pages and for men at their pages, but that would've been too easy. ~sigh~

I started to use shine, being a 35 year old woman. I was disappointed at what the women there liked to talk about-perfect example the article & photo above. I left the community. However, I still have my articles & blogging on Shine due to their quickness & high ranking on Google. Thanks to Yahoo's advertising. I figure I will swim the direction of the current-but it is not where I spend any time.
