THE SETTING :
The good ship SS Yahoo360 has been plying the waters of Happy Sea now for almost two and a half years during which period clear sailing has been the order of the day except for the odd squall now and then. However , of late icebergs have been sighted ahead off our port and starboard gunwales sowing much consternation among the passengers many of whom have already started requesting the captain lower the lifeboats so that they might safely motor or row their way to safety aboard Yahoo360's sistership , the SS Multiply ,....... or even switch to other cruiselines which have many steamers in the immediate vicinity..... such .. the SS Facebook , the SS MySpace ....and last , but not the least , the SS Blogger.
While observing the above goings on the following passage from the New Testament comes to mind ,
Mark 13:3-8 - And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
Being a technotwinkie in computer knowledge I shall probably stay faithful to Yahoo360 until the bitter-sweet end. However , I'll not go down with the ship . Like many of you I too have my very own back-up haven of refuge , GOOWY. COM..... home sweet home to me with free parking , hot coffee and sticky , " gooey " doughnuts 24/7....... a real Mom and Pop site far from the squabbles of corporate blogging !!
