Got this mail from the Yahoo MyBlogLog folks

In a couple weeks, we’ll be launching a new feature called New with
Me. This feature will use the URLs on the Services tab of your
MyBlogLog profile to aggregate your latest activity on sites such as
Twitter, Last.fm, Digg, and YouTube. As a result, your profile page
will look different – publicly available updates from the services
you have listed will be merged with your existing information. Your
latest Flickr photos, Last.fm tracks, and YouTube videos, will all be
in one place. Updates from your contacts on MyBlogLog will be merged
and available as well. Simply put, the New with Me feature will
transform your static profile into a dynamic one.

MyBlogLog respects your privacy. We will aggregate and display only
information that is publicly available. If you’re uncomfortable with
MyBlogLog aggregating and displaying publicly available information
from a particular service, you can remove that service from your
profile at any time.

Of course, we hope you’re excited about the broader distribution of
everything you produce on the Web. If you use any of the sites
featured in the Services tab, you know the value of being able to
display all your activity in one place.

Your MyBlogLog profile, About Me widget, and Email Signature were the
first steps in distributing your Web identity. New with Me is the
next, pulling together a unified picture of who you are on the
distributed social Web. We have lots of cool things planned for this
feature — I hope you’ll use it to help build the next generation of
the Web.

Very interesting.

So Yahoo is putting its personal aggregation through a unified Yahoo id to use. Wonder where this will lead to. Will people accept it, or will they log out of it fearing privacy issues?
