Explore Your Social Networks
Use Yahoo! 360 to stay in touch with friends, family, and coworkers while viewing their social connections.
You’ve probably heard the famous theory that says everyone on earth can be connected to anyone else through six degrees of separation. For example, if you really wanted to get in touch with Bill Gates through friends, you could go to someone you know, they could go to someone they know, and you’d eventually reach Bill through no more than six contacts. These relationships make up your social network, and Yahoo! 360 is an attempt to map and expose those connections.
In addition, Yahoo! 360 is a place to keep your friends, family, and coworkers up-to-date with what’s happening in your life, as well as a way for you to see what they’re up to.
