yahoo

Did you know that when you sign in to your yahoo email (maybe even flickr), you're automatically signed in to messenger too?

I never knew that. Well, I did see one or two contacts online before but assumed it meant that they were online checking their emails too and I would have the option to ping them. Discovered yesterday however that others who had me in their address book are able to see me, regardless whether I had saved them in mine.

Apparently that has been happening. Been mistaken for logging in, ignoring people or pretending to be offline. Small thing, really.

But when that sows distrust, it's really nothing to yahoo about.
