"A Reuters release notes that Yahoo Inc will stop letting consumers access its various online services, including Fantasy Sports and photo-sharing site Flickr, by signing-in with their Facebook Inc or Google Inc credentials. The move marks the latest change to Yahoo by Chief Executive Marissa Mayer, who is striving to spark fresh interest in the company's Web products and to revive its stagnant revenue.

The change, which will be rolled out gradually according to a Yahoo spokeswoman, will require users to register for a Yahoo ID in order to use any of the Internet portal's services."

    She wants fresh interest by advertising agencies, not users.

    Kinda like Slashdot Beta.

    "Rolling out gradually" a change means a change they know users will hate, because that's why they have to roll it out gradually - check.

    Figured the only people on Yahoo were 12 year-old girls, FBI agents pretending to be 12 year-old girls, and the creepy old men trying to court them.
