Yahoo! — Great Services for Individuals, too

Fantasy sports, personals, jobs, music, and much, much more...

Sure, Yahoo! has lots of great services for small businesses and organizations. But what else do they offer? What about products, services and other interesting content for individuals? From fantasy sports to personals, from jobs to music, Yahoo! truly has something for just about everyone.

Yahoo! Personals

Looking to spice up your life with a little romance, or maybe even just find a new friend? Sign up for the Yahoo! Personals service. You can meet local singles and, as the site says, "start having the kind of first dates that lead to second dates… and beyond." Best of all, it's FREE to try, and it takes just three simple steps to get started: 1) tell the service about the people you'd like to meet and browse among the matches, 2) create your profile with a photo and answers to a few questions, and 3) flirt away and start dating over Yahoo! Messaging or another IM applications, or perhaps over coffee. The rest is up to you!

Yahoo! Hot Jobs

Yahoo! Hot Jobs has rapidly become one of the Web's top job-search portals for candidates and employers. Searching for openings is a snap. Just enter keywords (for job titles, companies, etc.), specify a geographic location, and choose from a pull-down list of Job Categories. You can also build and upload your resume to help potential owners find you. Posting an available position is easy, too; in as few as five minutes, you can create a 30-day or 60-day job posting. Then, you can review resumes online or, if you prefer, have them automatically delivered to your email Inbox. The more job postings you buy, the more you save, so it's an especially powerful and cost-effective recruiting tool.

Yahoo! Autos

Yahoo! can also help you quickly receive dealer quotes for a new car. With this free service, you just select the make and model you're interested in, along with your ZIP code. Then, all you need to do is sit back and wait for up to four local dealers to call or email you with pricing details. Having competitive quotes in hand gives you an advantage before you even arrive at the dealership.

Yahoo! Music Unlimited

While there are plenty of online music services to choose from, the Yahoo! Music Unlimited service packs a lot of punch in a very affordable price. For around $6 a month (after a 14-day free trial), you get access to over 2 million songs in almost every genre imaginable. You can play and save music to your PC or compatible device, or enjoy unlimited access from any PC without paying per-track charges. Thousands of playlists are provided for your browsing enjoyment, along with access to over 150 LAUNCHcast Plus radio stations.

Yahoo! Music Jukebox/Jukebox Plus

So, what’s the best player for all your Yahoo! music downloads? The Yahoo! Music Jukebox is billed as "the only music player you'll ever need." It allows you full freedom to play, rip, and burn MP3s and CDs, as well as creating and sharing playlists with friends. There's no need to sign up for Yahoo! Music Unlimited separately, either; full access is included with Yahoo! Music Jukebox. With Jukebox plus, you can also access a huge library of music videos, access artist information, and plenty of other music customization options.

Yahoo! Games

All work and no play can make ANYONE a dull person. Yahoo! Games steps in to fill the entertainment gap with a huge library of downloadable games. Choose titles from a wide range of categories, including Arcade, Board, Card, Puzzle, Word, Multiplayer, and more. You can download and try games for free before deciding if you'd like to buy. There's even a section on the Nintendo Wii system packed with news, blogs, and other content.

Yahoo! Mail Plus

While Yahoo! offers one of the world's most popular free email services, it also offers a more powerful version called Yahoo! Mail Plus. It adds 10MB of message storage (up from 10MB) and 50 filters (up from 15). The regular SpamGuard spam protection is replaced by the even more robust SpamGuard Plus. It also offers additional features such as no graphical ads or promotional taglines, offline POP access, mail forwarding, and even stationery. You can try it for free, and if you decide to upgrade, it's only $19.99 a year.

Yahoo! Fantasy Sports

Need a fantasy sports fix? Look no farther than the Yahoo! Fantasy Sports, where the seasons never seem to stop. Check out their free, customizable services with lots of great features like premium content, prizes, and real-time scoring. You can control stats, scoring, rosters and much, much more. Choose to sign up for one or more leagues covering NFL football, MLB baseball, NBA basketball, NHL hockey, NCAA college football and hoops, NASCAR racing, golf, tennis, soccer, and other sports.
