[OpenID] Flickr users can now login with a Google account via OpenID

[sknvn-openid at yahoo.com]

Allen left Yahoo! in September to pursue a long vacation (Allen can elaborate on 
this). :) Allen was one of the key players to champion support within Yahoo to 
become an RP.  Given the number of systems Yahoo has it was not easy to be 
become an RP (e.g. messenger and other clients, IMAP/POP etc). That is why this 
launch is limited to Flickr but we do plan to make this work for across the 
network soon.

Thank you Allen for all your hard work on this.

Thanks

Naveen @ Yahoo!

Indeed, and kudos to Yahoo! - but speaking of Yahoo, your account (atom) at (@) 
Yahoo! corporate (yahoo-inc.com) doesn't work anymore. I'd assumed you had 
something to do with the change, but were you working from Yahoo!'s end, 
Google's, both?
