Re: Yahoo! strikes deal with Facebook in bid to be the 'largest social network' in the world

Re: Yahoo! strikes deal with Facebook in bid to be the 'largest social network' in the world: "Did you read the 'Yahoo! updates' bit ? Users have 'two weeks to opt out' before anyone on your address book can see 'see any of 'your' activities across Yahoo! sites' ! and.. this is better than the Buzz rollout ?
Mark Rabe is living in cloud Yahoo cuckoo land. If your product / service / upgrade is any good then the option is opt-in ! not 2 weeks to opt-out. THAT protects users privacy and 'will avoid incurring users’ wrath '. Users hate not having the option to opt-in, no matter how good Yahoo! Pulse’s functionality actually is.
I can't believe Yahoo would repeat Googles error so soon after the event and announce it during an announcement about a facebook tie-in given the current Facebook privacy problems.

Or maybe Mark Rabe believes that any publicity is good publicity ? Have all the colomn inches really hurt Google, Microsoft, Facebook etc ? Maybe she just wants to get in on their free bad privacy advertising ploy?

Give it 2 weeks and everyone will be commenting on this..."

Re: Yahoo! strikes deal with Facebook in bid to be the 'largest social network' in the world: "As the new CEO tightens her grip on the Social Media market will Carol Bartz be the first or last to witness the Privacy problems encountered by Facebook and will this finally make social media sites tighten up their privacy rules in favour of the user and not the site owners."
