Yahoo! Dumps Brand Universes

Yahoo! has scrapped its plan to create dozens of destinations for consumers to celebrate brands.

Dubbed "Brand Universes," the sites were intended to tap into the allure of hot brands—notably those in technology and entertainment—by creating one-stop shops featuring user-created videos, bookmarks, photos and reviews. Yahoo!
launched the first of these properties in late 2006 with one celebrating the Nintendo Wii.
