CyVee
News feed is implemented in CyVee
faceViet
faceViet launched new Beta with an interface different from that of Facebook.
They provide a rich Blogging platform and Music (both audio and video) embedding which are not present in Facebook core.
More reviews will come later soon…
yUp!
yUp! opens Beta, as previously reported.
yobanbe
yobanbe has been transferred to Zing domain yobanbe.zing.vn
Good move for boosting Zing’s Alexa rank.
yeah1
yeah1 grows from a forum to a community for teenagers. They aim at building a magazine and a TV channel for this market.
CafeF
Not a purely social networking site, but it’s worth mentioning that VCCorp’s CafeF has offered WordPress-powered blogging platform that specializes in Stock, and a Q&A channel at blog.cafef.vn
Any other interesting updates?

What is Yahoo! Pipes?
Pipes is a new mashup from Yahoo! that provides a GUI for building applications that aggregate Web feeds, web pages, and other services, creating Web-based applications from various sources. At the end of the process, user can choose to publish those applications.
The site works by letting users “pipe” information from different sources and then set up rules for how that content should be modified.

Tai Tran’s Lab: Technology As Innovator is back on its feet feed.
For you who subscribed through taitran.com/feed, feed items transmission has been suspended for a few weeks.
This was because my feed was exceeding the limit of 512Kb of FeedBurner.
I’ve fixed this issue, and items are coming through to your RSS Reader and/or mailboxes again.
Happy reading, my beloved readers.

yUp! silently opens Beta just before Tet holiday. My impression is that their efforts are spent to organize and provide most relevant information to users.
New features
Chatting
Talks has been added. It works the same way as that of a simple forum. This should allow more interactions between yUppers.
Large publish button
Security options
Security levels for user profile & homepage.
Design
The new layout is nice and neat with a lot of spaces to breath. The design concords perfectly with the mission of organizing information of the website.
Organizing information
Homepage
On its homepage, instead of throwing a lot of options in directories on users, only hottest ones are displayed: yUp’s Picks, Highest Rating.
yUp’s Picks and Highest Rating goes the same for Venues.
Events
Events tab makes it even further: they provide Week view of events. Navigation can be done chiefly through the calendar which is very convenient
Treeview
Categories on the treeview have been simplified to 4, which makes to less confusing for users.
Conclusion
Information organization is what makes success of Google. Can we say the same for yUp!?
