  Yahoo Kickstarts a social service aimed at college grads
Time: 08:33 EST/13:33 GMT | News Source: News.com | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner

Yahoo is set to launch Kickstart on Monday, a social network aimed at college students, alumni, and recruiters.

Yahoo already is experimenting with a general-purpose social network, Mash. But whereas Mash will be for socializing, Kickstart will be for career networking, says Scott Gatz, senior director of Yahoo's Advanced Products division.

"It's a professional network with a purpose--to help college students and recent graduates build a professional network," he says.

Also on Monday, Yahoo's Brickhouse technology incubator will be launching a development platform, code-named FireEagle, that will eventually enable people to provide their location in one place and have that information distributed across multiple applications, such as social networks, microblogs and instant-messaging services. The data dissemination also can be automated with a GPS-enabled phone.
