Successful Partner Integrations
Yahoo!'s Social APIs are widely used across the Internet. The first step to successful integrations is to let your users sign in through Yahoo!. Signed in users can share their activities on your site with their friends and the Yahoo! Network.
Forbes
A simple, out-of-the-box general integration
Forbes uses Echo to enable their users to leave comments on articles. People who sign in with their Yahoo! ID can automatically share their comments with their friends on Yahoo! Network. This drives traffic back to Forbes. People can show their Yahoo! Profile information such as their photo and nickname next to their comments on Forbes.
Huffington Post
A fully customized integration using Yahoo! APIs
Huffington Post enabled its users to sign in using their Yahoo! ID, link their accounts with their Yahoo! Profile, and to share their activities to and from Yahoo! Network properties.
On top of this, Huffington Post's custom integration allows its users to see which among their Yahoo! friends are already on Huffington Post. Users can then follow their friends' activities within Huffington Post without leaving the site. Instead of creating a social network entirely on its own, Huffington Post leveraged Yahoo! as a social graph and an effective distribution channel.
