It's a slight irritation but I find the privacy aspects of this not particularly weighty. Anyone who really wants to find out information online won't find it too hard to make the linkages.
Bwelford, that is correct. Privacy isn't easy to disguise and Yahoo! already has a lot of my important information. I'm much more bothered by not being able to link the accounts as I tried to do this three times and failed.
I weigh convenience as the higher of the two priorities.
When did this happen? I seem to be signed in okay with my old info and haven't been asked to use any Yahoo info. I don't even think I still have a Yahoo sign in as it's been years since I used to play games there! :)
I haven't been forced to log in either. We will see what happens when they do decide I need to switch.
Dinosaur for the new avatar Matt?
Jill: It happened last Thursday or Friday. If you haven't signed out yet, you'll be okay until then. If you do sign out, you'll be asked to link your Yahoo! account with MBL or to create a new one.
Andy: Yes, in honor of my most recent birthday, I think a dinosaur is most appropriate!
I don't know that I'm worried about the privacy. I'm more concerned with the fact it's a royal PITA. And it's friggin' annoying as all hell.
I hear ya, SEOhack. I still can't retrieve my Yahoo! information any way. So, why bother with MBL?
