Hey you
Social networking is all the rage these days, and Yahoo! has recently made some upgrades to its user profile application to reflect this trend. The new “universal profile” is still in beta, but it can help you manage your identity, activities, interests and connections across Yahoo!. “Ultimately, our goal is to unify your social experience and connections, not only on Yahoo!, but anywhere you travel across the Web,” says Jim Stoneham, Vice President, Communities, about the new profile format. “Rolling out the new profile today is a just first step, and I look forward to sharing more details with you in the coming months as we ‘light up’ social experiences at Yahoo!”.
The profile enhancement is further, ahem, profiled here.
Have a safe and sane Halloween holiday!

An exhibit of a WWI aviator’s outfit in the Canadian War Museum cites the term "fug" boots. UGG Cardy, Ugg Boots have also been popular with surfers and competitive swimmers since at least the 1960s, for keeping warm while out of the water.
