Yahoo’s Santa Monica-based media group has launched it and expects that ‘Shine’ will also become popular like Yahoo’s other eminent brand Yahoo Finance, Sports, News, Entertainment and Yahoo answer.
However, before some time Yahoo’s fate became uncertain when Microsoft Corporation has offered a gigantic bid for purchasing Yahoo, but the deal could not be finalised and Yahoo is cementing its top position by introducing its product one by one.
This new product is very much likely to attract the traffic as ‘woman’ segment is considered a mass appeal in the globe that will also attract men towards this new product and it is estimated that this might generate massive revenue that will enhance the market price of Yahoo.
‘Shine’ looks sober with less advertisement attached on the home page and can be surfed quickly despite of having so many services and product in its kitty. So, do visit http://shine.yahoo.com.
