well, i do use some Yahoo services, and they are pretty well designed IMO
Flickr
Babelfish
Pipes
the yahoo webmail interface is quite nice too, actually
not sure if it is still true now, but at least as of august 2009, yahoo had more mailboxes than gmail

So i don't understand what you people are whining about.
But, let's see what will/does happen. As it stands, my expectations will remain rather low - mainly because both companies are honestly notorious for missing the mark in some of their simpler, supposedly more intuitive offerings (an aside, I absolutely hated how Yahoo Maps had the wrong documentation notes for their AS2 and AS3 API's for 2+ years in some spots and I had to basically guess, whereas Google Maps AS3 implementation API was documented spot on) - because of their history.
This announcement makes sense. I just hope they can make it work correctly the first time. No Flickr integration is odd though.

@gerbick I'm agreed with you that it's not the best pairing ever, but certainly better than nothing. Better late than never though? Probably.
Anyway, new iPhone coming out in a couple of weeks and it looks fab, plus Google are really pushing the envelope in terms of specification and features with Android. The N8 with some Yahoo widgets has got a lot of competition on it's hands and I'm glad I don't own any of those Nokia shares graphed from YoDude's post.

Partnerships are good
-Intel for Meego
-MS$ for exchange and IM
-Yahoo for Maps and push email
Its all additive, and gets them more visibility in the US of A.

This is very2 good for both Nokia and Yahoo.
Such an upgrade from Nokia's rather lame original Ovi offering.

I agree. Really, who uses Yahoo for chat/maps or primary email in this day and age? My wife has a yahoo account she still uses every once in a while, but she also signed up for it at 13-14 when yahoo was still respectable as a web index / search engine.
This is a non-sensible alliance.
Maybe they can hook up with Geocities.com to provide personal website space for blogging?
As for Yahoo Messenger...i can careless because i have Pidgin and it works.
So i don't understand what you people are whining about.
