Yahoo networks with Facebook

Yahoo is continuing its social offensive and integrating Facebook content via Facebook Connect. This will enable news to be shared with friends via both networks.

Users who link the pages together can follow the Facebook newsfeed on the Yahoo homepage as well as on Yahoo Mail and other Yahoo services. In addition, users who create content on Yahoo pages such as news, sports, Flickr or TV can also share these activities with contacts from Facebook. The "Like" button can also be used directly by users of the finance and sports pages on Yahoo in future.
Yahoo had already announced a cooperation with the microblogging service Twitter at the beginning of the year. Tweets have been integrated into the search function for some time now, at least in the USA. According to industry service Pressetext, extensions to the partnership are set to follow this year.
