Update once to share with many on Yahoo! and Facebook

We have good news to share with everyone who uses Yahoo! and Facebook – in the first half of 2010 we will open the door between two of the Internet’s largest online communities. You will be able to see your Facebook friends’ activities on Yahoo! and share Yahoo! content – ratings, photos, article comments, and more – directly on your Facebook stream.  We’re doing this by deeply integrating a service called Facebook Connect across Yahoo!  properties worldwide, which we announced today.

As the place where over 500 million people visit every month, Yahoo!’s goal is to bring together social experiences from across the web, and provide one place for people to access information and stay in touch with the people they care about most.

Yahoo!’s integration of Facebook Connect will provide you with richer experiences across the Yahoo! products you use every day, such as Yahoo! Mail, Yahoo! News, Yahoo! Answers and Yahoo! Sports.  In the future, you’ll be able to choose where you want to update your status message – from destinations across Yahoo! – or directly on Facebook.

We are doing this as part of our commitment to deliver more personally relevant Internet experiences, so watch for more details in the New Year!

Jim Stoneham, VP of Communities for Yahoo!

It’s so cool you Yahoo!ligans are implementing Facebook Connect. I’m really looking forward to seeing my friends of friends on Yahoo Answers and, hopefully, flickr without any plugins! :) Yay Yahoo!

Glad to see it, folks! Congratulations and thanks. (I’m looking forward to your publishing, somewhere, notes on the specifics of how best one may take advantage of these capabilities!)

i think it’s a great idea for this new group!!!

Intriguing. Will comments cross over as well? For example, if a Yahoo user comments on my status update, can my Facebook friends see the comment and respond as well, and have those responses appear on the Yahoo status too? That would be fantastic.

Yahoo has announced this news 2 days back that they already introduced that feature in Yahoo Mail Box and now facebook users can update their status through Yahoo and also see their friends activities. I think its a great effort

Bethy | April 13th, 2010 at 1:30 pm

I’ve already tried it! It’s really nice and comfortable.

Neo_L | April 13th, 2010 at 11:49 pm

That is really a good news.

Actually, I think this is quite a clever move. Facebook is the first of other social networks they will be able to integrate with. Twitter is certainly coming next. That way, they can allow users to stay on yahoo sites and still follow whatever social network is trendiest at the time, bucking any variations in popularity of the different services.
