WHAT
THEY SAY: Yahoo! Personals gives Yahoo! users a way to find and interact
with other people who may share their interests and goals. Just like a
real community, different people may have different opinions and
personalities in Yahoo! Personals
WHAT WE FOUND: The
Yahoo Personals service is only for people that live in America or
Canada (currently) although we do expect international versions to come
out soon. To post an ad you’ll need to be a Yahoo member so you’ll be
prompted to do that first before you join to post your profile. There
are 7 steps to posting your profile but they don’t take very long to
complete. Begin with the type of ad you want to post, or not post. What
this means is that you can keep your profile private so it is not
included in the general search results, but if you answer an ad that
person can read it. Next give yourself a name for your ad. We recommend
that you do not use your Yahoo username, but use something else for your
ad. This will keep your privacy intact in that people won’t be able to
easily guess your Yahoo email address. The next steps will allow you to
post information about yourself, about the type of person you are
looking for and the type of relationship you are interested in beginning
as well as upload pictures and become a subscribing member. Posting your
profile is free but to be able to send and reply to messages you must be
a subscribed member. Once your profile is approved, this takes about 24
hours, you can also add a voice message and a video message to your
profile. The search system is fast and easily customizable using zip
codes, city names and “Importance Levels”, so you can narrow down your
search and find the singles that you really want to meet. You can also
“Be a matchmaker” and search for a match for a friend. The friend will
then have to become a member, but it’s a start to not being single
anymore. The “Mutual Match” system allows you to easily be matched with
people that have the same likes and dislikes as you and will
automatically alert you so you can send them a message (once you’re
subscribed to send messages). And don’t forget about the Yahoo Instant
Messenger chat program: once you have subscribed you can instantly chat
with other subscribed members when they are showing as being online.
With Yahoo being one of the largest web destinations, you should become
a member to see all of the profiles of people that are in your area.
You’ll be surprised there are so many singles so close to where you
live.
WHAT YOU'LL FIND: You’ll
need to be a member of Yahoo to join and it’s free to post your profile.
Add voice and video messages to your profile. Chat using Yahoo IM. Add
up to 5 pictures with your profile. Become a subscribing member to send
and reply to messages. Straight and same sex personals available.
