It'll take some time to think and write down use cases and decisions that we made during this process. Current implementation is designed to help users who don't have a Yahoo! ID to engage and sign-in to Yahoo! easily. Over the next few weeks we'll look at the metrics and see how many new users we are seeing/signing up vs existing users who are linking the accounts. <br>We do plan to support other OPs in the future but based on a number of factors we decided to go with G & FB in the beginning.<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Naveen<br><span><span><a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/nvnagr">http://twitter.com/nvnagr</a></span></span><br></div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:

all can give it a try. <br>If you already have a Yahoo! ID, I recommend linking it with your Google or FB ID otherwise you'll end up with two separate accounts.
