Yahoo Gets a Kickstart On Social Networking

College students and alumni have a new virtual gathering place, Kickstart, Yahoo’s latest Web 2.0 endeavor aimed to chip away at Facebook and LinkedIn.At it’s simplest level, think Classmates meets the job hunt. New users set up a basic profile by inputting their college and professional information. You are then automatically (unless you opt out) connected with the people who also attended your school. The goal is to have alumni help alumni land on both feet in the workforce.

Future iterations will include events, message boards and other Web 2.0
