YLive Down for the Count; Wither Fire Eagle?
VentureBeat notes that Yahoo Live, the company’s in-development experiment in real time social streaming is shutting down come December. In the same breath, MG SIEGLER notes, the Y Live Blog offers a plug for Fire Eagle at Yahoo’s Next Blog and suggests it too may not make it. Yahoo Live and Fire Eagle both came out of Yahoo’s Brickhouse, a laboratory for new apps. It’s possible that new iPhone apps that take advantage of Fire Eagle could rev up interest, but as has been pointed out to me, if Yahoo can’t figure out how to monetize Fire Eagle, as cool as it is, it’ll die.
