Yahoo and Twitter have entered into a global partnership, according to news reports.
Twitter feeds and status updates will all be available from within Yahoo's main home page. Yahoo also wants to use access to the Twitter public data stream to update the content across all Yahoo sites.
Real-time search integration is available immediately. The move shows that Yahoo is taking steps to become a hub of social networking as this follows their recently announced partnership with Facebook.
"The information in one single tweet can travel light-years farther with this Yahoo integration," said Twitter co-founder Biz Stone.
In other news, a phishing campaign is targeting Twitter users to steal their passwords and hijack accounts, according to security firm Sophos.
The hijacked accounts are being used to spread money-making spam campaigns. Phishing links started to appear in humorous postings that began with internet phrases like "lol, this is funny" and "lol this you?"
