Yahoo to scale back original content plan

By Robert Niles: A report in today's New York Times says that Yahoo! plans to scale back its once-amibitious plans for original content on the Web portal.

Few efforts have made it online to date, most notable being Kevin Sites' In the Hot Zone, which will remain on the site. Plans for a TV-style online reality show, among other ideas, are being shelved.

The report quoted Yahoo's Lloyd Braun as saying that Yahoo would shift its focus to providing opportunities for readers to create their own content and show it to other readers.
