I just recieved an e-mail informing me that my post will no longer feed to Yahoo. Interesting. My couple of post relating to the Boston Marathon blast has generated hundreds of hits that came from Yahoo. I am wondering why Yahoo and apparently Word-Press has an issue with this?
Hi there,
We’re getting in touch to let you know about a change in the Sharing Settings on your WordPress.com or Jetpack-powered WordPress site.
One of your sites(The Conservative Hillbilly) was previously connected to Yahoo! Updates through the Publicize feature. Yahoo! is no longer supporting their Updates API, so we’ve disabled your connection and your posts will no longer be Publicized to Yahoo! Updates (if you’ve connected any other services, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or Tumblr, these will still work just as before). You don’t need to do anything, we’re just letting you know.
You can check your current Publicize connections by visiting Settings → Sharing in your Dashboard.
You can read more about Publicize in this support article.
Thanks for flying with WordPress.com!

Well, well, well, the media, especially the commies want to HIDE the information again.

I’m not a fan of Yahoo. I left years ago after I got hacked.

Same here, and they told me how easy it is to recover my account…that was BS.

Not to mention since I ditched my email account they won’t let me have access to my Flicker photos.

That’s not right. And I know how tough it is to contact the bums 😦

I never got a heads up from WP about this!
Apr 16, 2013 @ 09:18:38
I got the same message over at my blog.

Big Sis at work? 🙂

Me too. Must be money thing.

This ain’t good.

Actually it is because Yahoo is changing, and no longer allowing you to connect from any of your other stuff from it. In fact even the messenger no longer supports chatting with other messengers. In some ways it is a good thing… everyone connecting all their accounts, it is dangerous, it allows for people to hack them all, to steal them…

Thanks, I did not take that into consideration.

For sure! The net can be a troubling place… one never knows what these places are thinking and I soo agree that often it is their way of stopping things we may want to spread the news on… buuut *grins* I have a love for looking at all sides of things.

I am with you about taking a lokksie from all sides. If not for the net, we would not have access to a ton of information.
