Google And Yahoo To Kick Sex Offenders Off Social Networks

New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said today that 13 additional social networking sites, including those owned by Google, Yahoo and AOL, have agreed to remove sex offenders from their sites. The move follows Cuomo's announcement from last week that Facebook and MySpace had removed more than 3,500 registered sex offenders from their sites. As of today, 15 major social networking sites have agreed to use New York's e-STOP law, which requires sex offenders to register their online information with the state Division of Criminal Justice Services. That information is then passed along to social networking sites which then remove the sex offenders. Andrew Cuomo "It is no secret that sexual predators abuse social networking Web sites to find and manipulate victims and to insinuate themselves into their victims' lives," said Attorney General Cuomo .

Yahoo Rolling Out Something Kind of Like Real-Time Search

Reports indicate that Yahoo will be rolling out its own version of real-time search results today. Google of course did this earlier in the week, but Yahoo's offering will not exactly be real-time. Google has access to Twitter's firehose (although everybody will have access next year ) because the two companies entered an agreement recently . Yahoo doesn't have access to that, and is just relying on its own algorithms to deliver recent tweets at the bottom of search results. Whereas Google's feature includes tweets, Facebook updates, and a variety of other sources, it looks like Yahoo's Continue reading

Yahoo Deepens Integration With Facebook

Yahoo said today it is expanding its integration with Facebook to allow users of both sites to share more content. Yahoo said its deeper integration with Facebook will roll out in the first half of 2010. Users will be able to connect with Facebook friends on Yahoo, view a feed of their friends' activity on Yahoo, and share content such as photos from Flickr or comments on news stories. "With this integration, we are opening the door for two of the Internet's largest online communities to make it easier for people to stay connected," said Jim Stoneham, vice president of Communities for Yahoo!. "It also enables us to further the Yahoo! Open Strategy, which is aimed at making experiences dramatically more open, social and personally relevant for the more than 500 million people that visit Yahoo! each month." The partnership moves beyond Yahoo's current Facebook Connect integration which allows Facebook users to access their stream and update their status from the Yahoo homepage, along with a "Share on Facebook" option across Yahoo, and allows Facebook to access Yahoo Contacts. People using both Yahoo and Facebook will be able to share updates on both networks, creating an improved social experience by connecting a variety of Yahoo content and services with their friends on Facebook. "As one of the largest sites on the Web, Yahoo! is an ideal partner to integrate with Facebook Connect, enabling users to share meaningful content with their friends on Facebook from Yahoo's wide range of category-leading properties," said Ethan Beard, director of Facebook Developer Network.
