Is there a bug in the Share Updates feature? I have added Pandora as an update to be shared, enabled sharing of updates, set Pandora to be shared by anyone then used Pandora by adding seed bands, rating music and listening for over an hour. Not a single thing showed up in my update module. What gives?

Since Y! presently has no functional social networking capabilty, will any such sites soon be added to the the list for sharing? MySpace, Facebook, or even Multiply?

I’ve emailed you at both email addresses you’ve used to comment, here on the blog– I’d be happy to help you resolve your issue. Please feel free to reach out to me should you have an issue: yprofileblog [at] yahoo [dot] com

Thanks!

Aliases are no longer supported by the new profiles. I commented to Terra and Chris regarding a workaround above, but I’ll repost my answer below on how you can create separate ID’s for your past aliases, using the same ID’s that you previously used.

You can delete your alias and then add it as a new ID all-together. This would create a separate profile for each of your aliases– something you can’t currently do with the new profiles service.

If you do this, my suggestion is that you first visit http://manage.members.yahoo.com/YOURALIASID (substitute in YOURALIASID for, well, your alias’ ID) and grab your profile information BEFORE you delete it from your account tab.

To delete an alias, from your profile, click on the “Account Info” link in the top right corner. You’ll be asked to log in. Then, from here, click on the “Add/Delete Aliases” link towards the right. Delete.

Though its tedious, personally, I’d also probably delete and create one at a time, so as to curtail any potential “ID grabbing” (just in case someone else wants your same ID at the EXACT same time, though the likelihood of that happening is small).

Then, feel free to set up your profile to your heart’s content, and your past alias’ content.

Hope this helps.
