Yahoo Updates 360 With Flickr, RSS Features
The Yahoo 360 blog announces some new features for Yahoo 360. They include the ability to display your Flickr photostream, show RSS content, and receive comment notifications. You may notice that my dormant Yahoo 360 blog now lists the latest posts from over here.
For starters, “Feeds” — the kind that make it easy to share your original web content, regardless of where it lives on the Web. Now you can bring it all onto your Yahoo! 360˚ page to share with family and friends. Display updated posts from your blogs (Live Journal, Typepad, Xanga, and Wordpress), your Netflix movie queue or movie recommendations, and much, much more. You’ll find the new “Feeds” module by clicking “My Page.”
Next, we’ve hooked up with Flickr so you can link to your Flickr photostream and show it off on your own 360˚ page. Whenever you upload new photos to Flickr, the display on your page is automatically updated. Plus, you can customize the number of photos displayed. This is a great way to introduce your friends to photo-sharing fun, Flickr style.
Want to find out every time someone posts a comment on your blog? Now you can set up yourself up with comment alerts: Click Settings in the upper right, then click Alerts. Select the “Blog Comments” checkbox to see what people are saying. Be sure to choose a delivery method.
And finally, something completely different: Blast balloons! Give your blast a graphical treatment: let it yell, whisper, ponder, sell something, ask a question or quote someone else. Your blast message is even more expressive with a comic strip style “balloon” wrapped around it. Do you think we should call it an “emotiblast”? Tell us what’s on your mind.
