First of I hope you do not mind me sending you this message, but as you might have heard, that yahoo 360 is going to be closing and be changed into another form of blogsite which no doubt will be like myspace. If you disagree with this and wish to help try to save Yahoo 360 and its online community then their exists a large group of 360 bloggers who wish to protest our disappointment and disagreement over these proposed changes.
Yahoo obviously want higher advertisement revenue, this of course will be at the expense of the already online community and will effect the very character of yahoo 360 forever.
If we were to show our disgust in how we are being treated as customers by threatening to leave yahoo 360 completely then it is believed that this just might make them think again, for this would be where it would hurt Yahoo most
If we do this right, and tell them we will leave them, then their customer base will drop to nothing..because the kids don’t want MASH they want MY SPACE and Facebook, so there isn‘t a good enough reason to change yahoo 360, as it appeals to a different audience and blogger.
Lets try to do something! They are going to replace 360 with a My Space type blog called Mash, which is a very poor blog site in comparison .
So we who are against these changes are calling for volunteers. We ask you to go into twenty strangers blogs. Let them know what is going on. All countries, All types, of blogs. Tell twenty people about what is happening. Show them this link, to complain. Tell them what you are doing. Ask them to do the same.
Who's with us to keep 360 alive, so that our online communities we all have built up are not destroyed by mere shortsighted greed?
All we have to do is go into some strangers friends list and then go into one of their friends list and so on and so on.
If we don’t protect what freedom of speech we do have still remaining in this world, then what chance is there for tomorrow.
I am sorry for this unsolicited message, but in the interest of free speech and intelligent blogging, etc I thought I should help to spread the word.
