Yahoo announced an agreement with Facebook

Yahoo And Facebook IMGYahoo and Facebook have announced an agreement between their two sites.

In fact, their services are now linked in some ways. A user with an account on both platforms, and can see the notifications relating to its activities on a site, appear on the other.
In addition, users of certain services offered by Yahoo (such as Flickr or Yahoo Answer), can more easily share their data will be housed with their Facebook friends.

They will also be possible to update both their Yahoo profile and their Facebook profile into a single action, since both pages are linked. Yahoo Profiles will be renamed Yahoo Pulse, and their privacy settings (about fashionable!) Will be improved and simplified.

Posterous Importer

Brian Colinger wrote a cool thing his blog.

Posterous is a blogging system that launched with an interesting twist — everything happens via email from signup to posting.

There are a few things still on our roadmap, like more auto-post functionality, but don’t worry it’ll all be ready soon.

Last week you guys published 1.4 million new blog posts, but you only ran the spell checker about 204 thousand times. Ahem. The two possible explanations for this are that we’re all perfect writers or that we just forget to run the spell checker. I’m in the latter camp.
