Important Privacy Notice for Yahoo! Users

"I just got this from one of my Linux mailing lists.

'Yahoo is now using something called 'Web Beacons' to track Yahoo Group users around the net and see what you're doing - similar to cookies. Take a look at their updated privacy statement.

About half-way down the page, in the section 'Outside the Yahoo! Network", you'll see a little 'click here' link that will let you opt-out of their new method of snooping. You may want to do this. Once you have clicked that link, you are opted out.

Notice the 'Success' message at the top of the next page. Be careful, because on that page there is a 'Cancel Opt-out' button that, if clicked, will *undo* the opt-out.' " [Wil Wheaton Dot Net]

This type of behavior is just one of the reasons libraries should NOT be hosting their mailing lists on Yahoo Groups. If you're a SLS library and you'd like to start a mailing list, we will host one for you for free!
