Old news to some of you now, but if you had a Yahoo 360 blog, as of July 2009 you experienced the closing of the Yahoo 360 blog service. Painful, for those of you who invested a great amount of time using the service. I think the best lesson to learn from services closing such as Yahoo’s 360 blog is the fact that it is always better to blog on your own registered domain. It takes too much time and energy to plan, start, and to maintain a blog.

So, what happened to those who had a Yahoo 360 blog? After the closing date last July, the blogs were froze and the blog owners were no longer able to edit or post to their blog. Ouch! Yes, in case you’re wondering I do realize it was a social networking site as well, but for me personally I feel time is better spent posting to a blog on your own domain, rather than on a blogging type of service such as Yahoo 360. Just my blogging .02 worth!
