MyYearbook: Latest Victim of Social Networking Craze
Filed in archive Sites by pete on February 12, 2006

Since the home page now simply shows the alexa graph
and a note explaining that they are adding new servers this coming week, here's all I know about it: Geared for high-schoolers, myYearbook.com has mushroomed into a 300,000 members site. The Cooks, ages 17 and 16, are courting investors. Pages are simpler than MySpace to customize. Kids can Flirt, Bully or Secretly Admire each other with a mouse-click, or send Gold Stars or High-Fives. Members get an online "Yearbook," complete with a "Will" and a "Locker" for sharing music, photos and videos. They envision ads targeted more precisely than Google or Amazon, based on members' entries. MyYearbook.com is "not as safe and secure as it should be," says Parry Aftab of advocacy group Wired Safety, which next month plans to introduce a teen networking site called Yfly.com.
