Yahoo Closing Webjay

May 23, 2007 at 2:19pm ET by Danny Sullivan

Odd. Just a year and a half after buying music playlist sharing site Webjay, John Udell notes that Yahoo is closing the service. From the closure notice:

We are sorry to announce that Webjay will be closing its doors at the end of June, 2007. Please take this time to back up any playlists you want to keep. If you are using the XSPF Musicplayer, you may be able to keep it running. See below for instructions on moving the XSPF Musicplayer from Webjay to another host.
