Yahoo has announced that it will allow its users of email, photo-sharing and other online products to link their content and activities directly into Facebook. This 'Facebook Connect service' will start in the first half of 2010 and it represents an important move in Yahoo's efforts to tap the popularity of social networking and underscores the growing clout of Facebook, which now counts more than 350 million worldwide users, according to the New York Times.

Facebook Connect, which was introduced last year, provides a universal ID that lets people automatically log on to participating sites with their Facebook credentials. It also allows people to notify their Facebook friends about their activities on third-party Web sites.

So users, do you think this partnership will help Yahoo?

Even if it comes via Facebook, people may give a "peeping try" in it. But not too many users will be interested in it. On the top of that, by giving the big networks to Facebook, Yahoo has already lost lost of users to facebook...
