Yahoo! - “chasing Google and frustrating users since 1998″ (TM)
I bought a premier flickr account and I haven’t been able to log in for MONTHS. Why? Because they switched log in systems, and nobody inside flickr is responding to my desperate pleas for help. I paid good money for my premier account, and I can’t even manage MY OWN PHOTOS. Photos that rank well in search engines for MY OWN NAME. I am helpless to remove some personal pictures that I no longer really want up there… photos that I paid to manage on their site.
You might ask “Chris, why did you take so long to blog about this? The most recent pictures are like 6 months old!” - You’re right. I forgot all about how mad I was about flickr until I decided to log into MyBlogLog account, which again prompted me to use a new log in that I don’t even have. Now I can’t get in there either.
Now I’m frustrated as hell trying to create a new Yahoo! ID, but my name is already taken (likely by some spam bot since there are only a handful of Chris Hooleys in the world). And once I settle on a user name that I don’t even want, I have no idea how to get those linked to my flickr and MyBlogLog accounts. It’s just stupid. And typical.
Hopefully somebody from Yahoo! reads this post and can get me some kind of help… but I doubt it.
In the meantime, my iGoogle, GMail, Adwords, Adsense, Optimizer, and bazillion other Google gadgets I am using are still working flawlessly. An I have Googlers calling me pretty frequently (even got a Googler visit coming soon) to make sure everything is still working. Just thought I’d throw that out there…

Hi Chris- thanks for you help with that… very frikkin cool man. Funny thing is, MyBlogLog works now for me now. I had to set up a Yahoo! account, log in, then merge accounts. But for some reason my Flickr account is still hosed. I tried every email address I’ve ever used to log in an merge accounts and it keeps saying “that email address is not in our records”
I wanna punch myself in the junk!

I completely feel your pain! I’ve had a similar frustration trying to remember ancient yahoo user names and passwords that I haven’t used in years.
Kudo’s to Chris Goffinet, for fixin’ your MyBlogLog! nice work. . .
same here with Google, all the combined services work like a champ, but the only one I signed up for before Google bought them was Grand Central, but they don’t seem to have done the whole merge logins (like Yahoo does consistently when they buy out another web property)
