Does anyone here use Yahoo 360° or Hi5?

I find Yahoo 360° to be quite interesting. The profile is easy to set up and searching for groups is easy. Not to mention there are endless numbers of groups to look through and join. The whole interface is simple to understand and the profiles can be quite neat.

Hi5, on the other hand, seem to be rather dull and awkward to use. The groups are oraganized very badly, profiles are rather dull, groups are rather limited in both design and types available, searches are very difficult to perform, and everything is like Stone Age in comparison to Yahoo 360°.

Anyone else agree?

This almost seems like an ad... but not quite as blatant.

Of course, that could just be irrational paranoia sneaking up on me. What brought this discussion on, anyway?

I had the same initial reaction, but then again, it's pretty safe to say he's not a Yahoo employee.

On that note, Yahoo 360° looks okay, and I've never heard of Hi5. I've never really had any interest in blogs or anything like that anyways.

I have no opinion on the matter, and am responding so that no one loses sleep wondering what whacky critique I may have had. Also, thanks Dolphin for letting me know that they are blog tools. Now I know. :)

Well, that is one aspect of it. Apparently it is a database of discussion groups. There are some for Spiderweb and blades communities, but none of them are active.

Isn't it obvious? These other discussion groups are clearly the retroactive illegitimate children of Forum 6,432,766,349,448,872,395,334,773.

Hi5 seems... rather stupid. I've been on a mate's account-thing on that and not only did the colour scheme smell, but the interface seemed... awkward in an almost evil sense.

I've never heard of the Yahoo one, though.. maybe I'll get bored enough to look at it, one day. Of course, that might coincidentally be a cold day in hell, but you never know.
