I believe it was slated to come out around April-May, so I'm hoping it delivers as billed in the next month. It was pretty cool, and I think it'd do a lot to convince some that MSFT was not an absolute necessity, or at least give a reason for MSFT to raise its price. It has a lot of potential considering how many users they have. I have a fair amount of friends on Facebook, but I'm sure the number of friends who use a @yahoo.com email address is 5x at least. Plus keep in mind, Yahoo's social products kick FB's butt in several areas photos, groups, IM, music. They just need to finally bring it all together.

For a good name, I would suggest using the words Daily or 247 to encourage daily engagement by members. Its one thing to act as a portal and homepage with news content, but this is an old media newspaper strategy. To increase user engagement, its about using E-mail, instant messenger, and profiles to increase user commitment to their site.
