Update Facebook Through Yahoo Mail: Now With More Unnecessary Steps!

» 2 comments


Because logging on to your Facebook app from your smartphone wasn’t easy enough already, now Yahoo (slogan: We’re still pissed at Google about YouTube) has teamed up with Mark Zuckerberg‘s social-networking site so you can update your status from your email. Synergy!

There are several reasons why this is a completely useless tool: the only time it would ever come in handy is if you’re on some sort of device (say, the upcoming Apple Tablet) that doesn’t allow for more than one browser window to be open. Yahoo keeps well away from the Google (and Facebook) gray zone of privacy rights violations – the other added feature of their Facebook combo allows you to see the profile picture of people already your Facebook friends when they email you – but without forging into these new territories, Yahoo’s “playing it safe” method feels more like bumper bowling when there’s nothing at stake.
