Yahoo for my GoogleSpaceBook

Another nod to the NYT technology bloggers...

Saul Hansell reports that Google and Yahoo are both interested in integrating social networking into their email and custom pages (iGoogle,MyYahoo).

In some ways, it would be nice. Imagine getting professional email from someone and being able to see what they look like and basic information about them. Might make recognizing people at conferences a little easier!

But on the other hand, imagine your picture and profile going out with every email you send...

Professor Kline researches online search tools and likes warm fuzzy animals and quiet walks in the moonlight.

Yikes.
