Re: Remember how Yahoo Groups was going to change to a Facebook format???

February 5, 2011

Incidentally...Yahoo made such a hard to understand announcement (people on the

blog this announcement came from did not quite understand it) that I think I

ought to translate it just in case.

It means Yahoo Groups will not be converting to a Facebook format. Too many

group owners complained about the converstion, and a lot of people who were fed

up with FB did too.

Yahoo will continue to develop the existing format that we have now. They have

actually brought chat back, but I am leaving it disabled in these groups unless

I can moderate discussions. It's the only way I believe I can safeguard against

predators.

Hi everyone,

Over the past few months, we have been evaluating your feedback on the new

Groups experience that we have been testing with some groups for several months.

Based on that feedback, we have decided to rollback the new Groups experience

starting this Wednesday, January 12. We will instead iterate on the current

interface going forward. Thanks for your feedback and thoughts throughout this

process.

The Yahoo! Groups Team
