The Yahoo Profile Becomes the Social Media Profile

Yahoo has also made the profile photo easier to change. Simply mouse over the current photo and click the "change photo" link that shows up. The "find people" search bar has been redesigned as well. It's in the "connections" module at the top right of the page.

The more noteworthy feature that Yahoo has added is a "My Updates" section, as you can see prominently in the above screenshot. You can add the sites you want to share updates from, much like FriendFeed. You can control who sees updates in the "manage my updates" link at the top of the section.

"If you’ve already closed the 'Share Sharing Updates From Other Websites' module, you can still add other websites by clicking "Share More'," the Google profiles show up on the first page of results in name searches now.

Google recently tells you how to import/export data for a number of products, and they say they are focusing on expanding such features for more products. Profiles are a product that makes too much sense to think that they wouldn't do this eventually - especially now that Yahoo's doing it.
