In news from the official Yahoo blog today, it’s been noted that the web company’s attempt at a live video streaming site is going kaput! The service had just launched in February, however following an initial buzz-filled launch, “Live” simply failed to take off – so Yahoo is pulling the plug.
If you are one of Yahoo Live’s few users, there’s no need to panic, as the service will remain up for another month, not going officially offline until December the third. Also, if you’re really into Yahoo Live, they are planning a town-hall event this Wednesday, which will include the service’s final goodbye.
Personally? I’m not too disappointed by Yahoo’s decision, as I had actually forgetten about Yahoo Live’s existance. Hopefully this will free up resources for other, more interesting projects of the company. Really, though, I just hope nobody gets laid off.
