Did Yahoo miss the Social Networking bus?

Even when the waves of social networking ripples across the internet , the Internet Giant is slipping its steps to catch the Social Networking bus. Yahoo has started its spree of acquisitions to come out with a social networking site, but it seems like bursting in futility.

Yahoo once pushed 360.yahoo.com, then mash.yahoo.com, and spotm.yahoo.com as a foundation for their Social Networking ventures. But none of them could not excel and catch netizens attention properly. Now Yahoo is giving a try with its good old profiles.yahoo.com in a new bottle of Social Networking, now the profiles.yahoo.com supports having friends list as connections. Also they put it in Beta!.

Lets wait and watch, hopefully Yahoo could make it with profiles.yahoo.com

Cafe from ibibo, social networking with mobile alerts and enhanced privacy

After letting people to get paid for blogging on ibibo platform, now they are come up with social networking with two great most expected features

Controlling who should view your profile: With this feature, the profile owner can set restrictions whether his/her profile should be exposed to the public or only to best friends. But another proble with their privacy is that anyone can view the photo of the profile owner even without login in to the cafe.ibibo.com [ view my profile ]. And they are, of course, exposed to search engines. I feel this has to be fixed by ibibo web team, to complete their privacy control mission.

Mobile SMS alerts and email alerts: You can be a trusted member in cafe ibibo, if provide your mobile phone number. Apart from this, you can even receive SMS event alerts for the activities like, new friend requests, blurbs etc.

Orkut says they also provide SMS alerts, but still I couldn't find how to do that.
