Sunnyvale, Dec 2 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Yahoo Inc.(NASDAQ:YHOO) is turning the ageing clock backwards and trying to stay focused in its customers lives and also evolve with the changing times. In continuation with this endeavor they have extended their integration with Facebook to another level so that people can have social experiences from all over the Internet and to provide a place for consumers to enjoy meaningful content and stay in touch with the people they care about most, i.e. their friends and family.

“With this integration, we are opening the door for two of the Internet’s largest online communities to make it easier for people to stay connected,” said Jim Stoneham, vice president of Communities for Yahoo!. “It also enables us to further the Yahoo! Open Strategy, which is aimed at making experiences dramatically more open, social and personally relevant for the more than 500 million people that visit Yahoo! each month.”

Yahoo!’s Facebook Connect integration will provide its consumers a better, varied and richer experience on Yahoo!, including in Yahoo! Mail and on properties like Yahoo! News, Yahoo! Sports, and Yahoo! Finance too. It will enable the users to connect with their Facebook friends on Yahoo! itself, also see news feeds of their friends’ related activity on Yahoo!, and share content, which may be photos from Flickr or comments on news stories, with all of their friends on Facebook.

Through this amazing partnership, the people who are using both Yahoo! and Facebook will soon be able to share updates across both the Yahoo! and the Facebook networks, thus creating a richer and more relevant social experience by connecting the broad range of Yahoo! content and services with their friends on Facebook.

“As one of the largest sites on the Web, Yahoo! is an ideal partner to integrate with Facebook Connect, enabling users to share meaningful content with their friends on Facebook from Yahoo’s wide range of category-leading properties,” said Ethan Beard, director of Facebook Developer Network.

This integration of the Yahoo! services with the features of Facebook is expected to begin in the first half of 2010.
