What do you think of "Yahoo Personal"??

It's what you make of it.  I've met several very nice, interesting people by using Yahoo!, but I've also met a few from the other end of the spectrum.  If you decide to go that route, be sure to take the usual common-sense precautions when meeting someone.\n\nWishing you the best of luck!

For me sex goes far beyond the bedroom. Its the little things like remembering my name for one and knowing what I like and trying to please me even non sexually. Another thing is I like a man who can debate issues with me and respects my ideas though he doesn't have to agree with me. Someone who respects that I have a brain and not just some body parts. I get turned off by someone who Ims me and doesn't even tell me his name and starts talking about having sex with me. It makes me feel dirty. I then reply, where in my profile did you get that I was just a piece of meat? Most of the time, if I can't get to them I have to press the ignore button. Thank God for Yahoo's ignore button. I love it!

It is mostly very shallow, so therefore a bit of a waste of time.  But like a lot of of things with computers, it can also be addictive.\n\nEvery so often, a serious question or answer makes it worthwhile. And I also feel that certain silent kinship with certain people whose questions and /or answers make me think they are quite a nice person.\n\n(Is that a good answer?)

yahoo is good because you can look at profiles before signing up.  I see some of the same guys on multiple sites.

my opinion:\n\nmyspace is safe.\nbut a lot of people give out too much information.  on there pages they put little hints for others to find them.  \ni DO NOT let someone be my friend unless i know them in real life.  that includes people who go to my school, but don't talk to me.  why should i add a bunch of people and call them my friends?  whats the point?  doesn't make me any cooler.\nparents told us to not talk to strangers, why does that change when your online?

It's a pretty cool thing, but I don't "highly" recommend it. I mean, you can see the other person's avatar and talk, but, it's nothing too different than any other chat thing/ messenger.

I have two levels of email... this yahoo one, which I use for business transactions, listservs, and "just met" folks, and a personal one for people I consider friends. \n\nIt's not that I don't trust people w/ my personal email, so much as it is that I want to go into that email box reasonably assured that the messages will be from someone I want to respond to quickly.  (I check my personal account constantly, whereas I only access the yahoo one once a day, if that.)\n\nI'm not sure there are "general" rules of etiquette about exchanging email addresses yet, because people are still figuring out the best way to use the technology for them.  Some people don't like exchanging emails because they check their email infrequently and don't want to feel that they "should" be checking it more often, for example.  So... I can't really speak to current trends, just my own experience.  I ask people I know relatively well for their email addresses; w/ relative strangers I still usually use phone numbers.  Because I think the barrier is lower with email... any idiot or spambot can fire off multiple emails, but people will rarely continue to call you if you've made it clear that you're not interested in talking to them.\n\nThis is an interesting question, and it'll be cool to see what others think.

Here's what the community rules state: \n\nNO CHATTING OR PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS: You may meet friends or other interesting people on Yahoo! Answers with whom you'd like to engage in personal correspondence. If so, please use the chat option on your profile page, rather than use Yahoo! Answers itself. Questions that are chatty, or attempts to engage others in personal communications, will be removed. Some examples of questions that do not comply with the Yahoo! Answers Community Guidelines are below. These are just a few examples, and we reserve the right to change, remove, or add to the list at any time, without notice: \nHow are you? \nAnyone want to chat? \nWhat's your name? \nHow old are you? \nDo you like my avatar? \nWhat time is it? \nWho here likes steak? \nHow many points do you have? \nWho likes Britney Spears\n\nI've noticed that you posted a few do you like my avatar questions and I think one on Brittany Spears too. I've not reported you because I do not find that your questions offend me in any way shape or form.

Some people are just plain stupid that they are browsing through other people's profiles they just go ahead and add them w/ no intention to maintain some kind of relationship, not even the one where they just send comments to you every now and then.  The obvious answer to My Space's purpose is to just have fun and "meet" other people, but it sometimes doesn't seem like it.  But I've found so many people that I lost contact with, so some cases the purpose can be to get back in touch w/ old friends.

in my point of view yahoo is a double-sharped weapon and depends on the user and their interests .... for some people Yahoo is boring for some is nothing for some is like candy for some is important more than his wife or family for some is like drugs

I used to use it about 7 years ago all the time, phased out of it about 5 years ago, then a couple of weeks ago I was bored so downloaded it again and searched for people and the only people i could find where people leading me to adult chat sites. Couldnot find one normal person online! so i suggest deleting it!

depends on the type of person you are...me, personally, i would keep it to myself...but others may feel the need to express it in order to deal with it...if my wife did cheat on me, yahoo would be the last place you'ld see me discussing it

Sometimes I get comfortable with old familiar things .. like Yahoo's homepage.  But, eventually, someone wants to spruce things up a bit.  I guess it's time that they did at Yahoo! .. I do prefer the old one, but I'm getting used to the new one as I'm using it.  I suppose we'll all need to since it will be the de facto standard at some point in the future.
