But in the end, like Google, Yahoo will have to begin uniting the accounts, as they already have with Flickr. It'll be interesting times when Yahoo does fully integrate - from a privacy and marketer's perspective. Hi Michael,

At SES, Yahoo people that account integration wasnt a priority, but rather they’re focusing on building their product and relative user bases.

But in the end, like Google, Yahoo will have to begin uniting the accounts, as they already have with Flickr.

It’ll be interesting times when Yahoo does fully integrate – from a privacy and marketer’s perspective.

On the Abacus bit, I found some links

DoubleClick's situation was very different in that it was sitting on top of a network of websites not owned by Double-Click with improper disclosure of what was going on. Additionally, they wanted to create a full user profile linked with Abacus, which included personally data like address, names etc. Honestly, in the long run, when it comes to privacy issues Yahoo knows more about all of us: - Flickr (Photos, of your vacation, friends) - Upcoming (what parties, concerts you attend) - Del.icio.us (what websites we look at) - Y! Answers (what youre interested about) - Y! Personals (what kind of men/women you're into) - Y! Jobs (Resume) And the list goes on...from Y!

How strange! (Yo! Michael! How about a per-post comment feed on this thing?)

Not so with Adwords/Adsense. Even though they are attached to money, they have lower security standards than GA.

I keep my Adwords/Adsense account associated with a separate email/pass than my normal Google memberships for security reasons. I recommend everyone does the same. If I could log into each separately, I could stop cursing at my computer screen so much ;) What I find annoying is when I’m logged into Gmail, I have to log out to go check adsense.

Like GW, though, I have multiple accounts to represent different businesses (I own a couple of different small businesses) so I try to use a different browser per login to simplify things, to help avoid the confusion from data-sharing.
