It's certainly bringing the read/write web closer to mainstream and that's a good thing! A read/write portal... yes I like that idea (of course Marc Canter calls it a DLA).

NB: I see they haven't connected Flickr to it yet - when I tried to add some photos it sent me to something called Yahoo! Photos. I'll wait for Flickr thanks...

Anyways, if you're a regular reader of Read/Write Web and you'd like an invite - let me know (readwriteweb AT gmail.com). If we haven't communicated before via email or phone, then tell me a bit about why you read my blog. I don't mean to be an invite snob, it's just that I'd like to at least know who you are before I invite you onto my friends list. :-)

Oh and p.s., expect a delay before you receive an invite - Yahoo 360 isn't aknowledging my email address update and verification, so right now it prevents me from sending out invites! This is a beta, so I'll forgive them :-)

Update, the next day: I still can't send out any invites, because the "unverified" email address bug hasn't been fixed yet (I've now verified it 3 times, tried changing my address again, etc). So sorry to those waiting for an invite from me, I'll send one out as soon as I can. [fixed now] Also I'm not sure whether my Yahoo 360 blog is viewable to the outside world...
