Yahoo to shut down Yahoo Buzz from  tomorrow i.e., April 21,2011.

Yahoo Buzz, the famous web portal that is used by website publishers to post their content to the world and attract millions of Yahoo users via Yahoo buzz, is about to be axed and killed as Yahoo! other service Mybloglog.

A blog post from Yahoo said that the website will be inaccessible from 21 April. It wrote, “As of this date, you will be unable to access the Yahoo! Buzz site. This was a hard decision. However this will help us focus on our core strengths and new innovations. check the official announcement.”

Not only Buzz, an anonymous user who leaked the Buzz axing information at Twitter, also claimed that Yahoo will shut down other services like Delicious.

Wicked! The axing of Buzz is the continuation of Yahoo’s mission of cutting down its services.

The readers should know that Yahoo started the service cut down with Mybloglog. Again, an important factor to note here is that Mybloglog solely depends on Bloggers and web publishers. Small web owners, as well as bloggers, use mybloglog to gain traffic to their sites.

In my view, i think Yahoo is fed up of  giving the attraction to web owners and gaining no advertising values. Cutting down of Buzz as well as Mybloglog by Yahoo in my view is the perfect example of Yahoo’s frustration with other websites

Merlins beard, i couldnt believe on the email which i just received from Yahoo!  In the email, Yahoo officially states ” MyBloglog Service is to be discontinued”

can you believe it? I couldnt believe my eyes on what i am seeing.

What is Yahoo! MyBloglog?

For those who are unaware, let me first tell you what Yahoo! MyBlogLog is. MyBlogLog, is a yahoo service that lets bloggers see who their readers are and help the readers to interact with the authors in return.

MyBlogLog was acquired by Yahoo in early 2007 for $10 million, and at the time, provided a way for bloggers to easily create a community for their readers

Official Yahoo! website says, the reason for dropping the MyBlogLog service is due to the emergence of Facebook and twitter,that made the yahoo based service to decline for months which led them to drop the service.

I am really surprised to see Yahoo! abandoning its service. Its not daily we come across a giant like Yahoo to cut off its service.

Yahoo also reports they are also considering to abandon Delicious service later this year.

The Email which Yahoo sent to all of its MyBlogLog users continues below,

The Rachel was 'the ugliest haircut' ?

There was a time in the mid 1990s when women barraged their hair salons with photos of Jennifer Aniston to copy her haircut.

The layered cut was given the name “The Rachel” for Aniston’s character, named Rachel Green, on the “Friends” television series. She wore the style on the show’s first and second season.

One person who was not a fan of “The Rachel,” however, was Aniston herself.

Aniston, now 41, tells the February issue of Allure magazine it was not her best look.

“How do I say this? I think it was the ugliest haircut I’ve ever seen,” she says. “What I really want to know is, how did that thing have legs?”

Aniston’s longtime hairstylist Chris McMillan came up with “The Rachel.” He still works with her today.
