Facebook is one of the uber-social networking sites, and acknowledging its popularity, My Yahoo! has created a Facebook module that you can add to your page. As the My Yahoo! Product Manager Joseph said in a blog post,
As an avid Facebook user, I’m happy to tell you that My Yahoo! now has a Facebook module available!
We Say: While this is all great, I seem to recall that Yahoo! just released a beta social networking service, Mash.
While it’s still invitation-only, it’s not hard to get an invitation, either through your friends or of the sites I wrote about earlier. So why wouldn’t adding a module for their own site be a top priority over Facebook?
Oh, and lest I forget, what about Kickstart?
Facebook is a privacy abusing nightmare. I will never sign up for their service since that, effectively signs away my rights to my words and images. Plus the whole stupid Beacon debacle just capably demonstrates the absolute lack and regard for their users right to privacy.
[...] Of course the MBL community will miss Robyn, but from talking to Robyn about her new position (before it could be discussed publicly), I can tell she is excited about what Yahoo has planned. I have a good idea about what is ahead. [...]
Could I have an invite?
