Hey people, as all you know Yahoo! is the competence of Google, or at least it was for a time, actually I think that Yahoo! is over Google but I imagine someone will critique me for saying that. I usually use yahoo services like the web Searcher and Flickr, but I was taking a look on every service and I noticed that Yahoo! really kick asses! it has too many great services, but in this post I will talk to you only about the services for bloggers.
Ask Yahoo!: this is a great service, if you have any doubt you can ask to Yahoo! for any question you have. Of course, you are able to use this service only after asking me
.
Blo.gs: blo.gs lets you keep an eye on your favorite weblogs via the web and email. This is a directory of recently updated weblogs and tools for tracking interesting weblogs, in the spirit of services like weblogs.com and blogrolling.com.
Small Business: this is a great service to start your business, providing you the resources to get online giving you a webhosting service and domains for $9.95/year. If you are already have your website, you can advertise online getting a sponsored search and advertise your site in search results, connecting you with potential customers.
Flickr: well well, flickr is almost the best online photo management and sharing application in the world, at least that’s what they say. Really is a great service, too many bloggers are using it to share their photos. But why don’t they host those images on their own server? they use flickr because it’s free and also it doesn’t overload your loading time of your blog.
Yahoo! 360°: this service is a good one, it’s a place that’s all about you to share with friends and family. Let’s see, that’s very similar to the blog definition isn’t it? certainly, with 360° you can manage blogs, photos, lists, recommendations, and a host of other features, Yahoo! 360° lets you share what’s interesting and important to you.
Avatars: do you want to be virtually animated? with yahoo! avatars you can get an animate image of yourself customizing everything, noise, eyes, hair… changing your look everyday. This avatar can be shared in your IM.
Finance: with yahoo! finance you can calculate how much are you spending with their calculators. Also you will find some answers to frequently asked questions. This service is very interesting, you should check it out closer.
Bookmarks: did I read bookmarks? yes! with yahoo! bookmarks you can manage your preferred websites online and not in your browser/computer. This is very similar to services like del.icio.us, getting a button on your browser to add quickly any website to your bookmarks.
I think we all need to explore with details all the Yahoo! Services. I only look for a couple of them but probably there are more excellent services that all we want to meet, so if you use a non-listed service feel free to comment it giving a little description about it.
Happy blogging!

Very good collection of the best-of-Yahoo! services. I use most of them. But you forgot to mention the Yahoo! Wordpress plugin. Here is the review link - http://blog.teqedge.com/2007/12/14/yahoo-wants-to-spice-up-your-wordpress-blog/

Thanks for commenting Shamim and welcome to my blog. Certainly I forgot to talk about the Yahoo! shortcuts plugin for wordpress, I did it just when they launched the plugin.
Thank you for remind me and sharing your post about that great plugin.
One may ask what kind of effect Microsofts bid on Yahoo! will have on these services.
