Social networking - Yahoo and Facebook have agreed to tie there sites together, allowing users access to services on both

[bbc] Yahoo and Facebook are to tie their services closer together.

The tie-up means people with a presence on both sites can have updates to one service mirrored to the other.

It also means that it will get easier for users of Yahoo's other services, such as Flickr, to share what they do with friends on Facebook.

Alongside the Facebook deal goes an overhaul of Yahoo's Profile service to make it easier for people to control what they share.

The deal means that people who maintain profiles on Yahoo and Facebook can link the two pages and cross-pollinate both with one update.

It will also mean that those who use Flickr, Yahoo Answers or the social site's video and music services can pipe any media or data they create to friends who use only Facebook.
