How do I find my Facebook friends on Twitter?
The above method doesn't work for the following reason:Facebook does not interact with the contacts feature on your email service. EVERThis is how you can do it though.First add your Facebook friends to Google+Then use the e-mail account linked with Google+ to search for contacts on TwitterUsing the email id linked to Facebook directly doesn't help, as Facebook doesn't add contacts to email id.Also a method which I recently tested succesfully is as follows:Link your Facebook account with your Yahoo account. Create a Yahoo acount if you have to. All the email id of your Facebook friends are automatically updated to Yahoo.Then use yahoo mail id on Twitter to find Facebook friends.Works as recently as 31-August-2011

Why is Yahoo so inept at blocking spam from my Yahoo email account? I get the same “Lonely Married Women” email every day. I understand that the spam email address changes every day, but why can’t Yahoo spam check the subject?
Actually, Yahoo! blocks a ton of spam. We have a team working very hard on this challenge that we all face. Check out this realtime view here: Visualizing Yahoo! Mail (make sure you click on the "reveal blocked spam" button) to see how much spam is being blocked at any moment.

But you can do things about this too.Remember to set the spam filter on your email client. If you are using the Yahoo! web client go to the Options tab and check to see that you have spam set to be filtered out and deleted.When spam comes though, please mark it as spam. We pick up that signal and it helps improve our algorithms. This way we can block more spam in the future for you and others.General tip -- make sure not to post your email address in full on a web site. I saw a report once that showed how spambots harvest email addresses from blogs and site by searching for "yourname@host.com" pattern but they don't search for "yourname 'at' host.com" So you can reduce your risk of inviting spam by making this small change.If you get a spam mail, don't click on the links. This sends the signal that you are a real person who clicks on spam. Just delete these emails. I'm sure you don't need the pills anyways.Did you know that Yahoo! also give you disposable email addresses that you could use, say if you are doing online shopping? This is another way to make sure that your email address is only used by your real friends, and that websites only see addresses you don't care as much about.Maybe these tips will help your emailing experiences.

How do I reset my Yahoo account when I do not have access to my old phone number?
If you haven't given an alternative email, haven't configured security questions, and haven't provided a mobile number that is current, then thats 3 strikes. I can't advise you if you have neither of those 3 safeguards set. Try contacting Yahoo support, but your chances of regaining access don't look good.
How do I know if my Yahoo! email has been read by the recipient? I've already sent it without doing anything special; is it too late now? I've heard that Windows Outlook could do something like that. If so, how?
It is never too late to find out if your Yahoo! email has been read by the recipient. Send the recipient a second message, and ask if they received your first message, for example.Standard internet e-mail does not contain mandatory read receipts, so tracking if a message has been read relies on side-effects of reading the message. Sometimes, such side-effects are provided by the mail client software explicitly (e.g. Outlook allows viewers of messages to return a read-receipt, if the senders of the e-mail requested one), and other times such side-effects are provided implicitly (e.g. an HTML-format message being parsed that includes resources such as a CSS or image or JavaScript routine from another machine).You have already sent the e-mail message; if you retained a copy of this message, it can be analyzed to see if it contained any trackable elements, and then logs of the system which serves those elements may contain information allowing the deduction that a message has been read.Alternatively, if you have a legally compelling reason, then a suitable legal document (e.g. subpoena) may be served against Yahoo!, whereby their own logs indicating that the mailbox they host can be acquired to determine when the message you sent was fetched by any mail client. Note that this does not indicate that the messages was opened or read. However, depending again on the mail client software your recipient users, there may be logs that can be viewable that you can access (e.g. if the mail client is web-based, then the web server may have logged the request to view a particular mail message).
Why am I being shamed for "still" having a Yahoo email address, when a network of thousands of people over 20 years has that address? What sense is there to losing all those business & personal contacts, to prove I'm modern or hip? It sounds absurd.
Well, first, let’s get a something out of the way.No one should be ‘shaming’ you. It’s your choice. OTOH, if people are respectfully suggesting you change, there are reasons.It has nothing to do with being ‘hip’ or ‘modern.’ It has everything to do with security. Yahoo has become a ‘spam magnet.’ Anyone who wants to spam others, if they aren’t using an .ru account, they will use a yahoo account. Yahoo has done little to nothing to circumvent this.So when people get a yahoo email, it may go directly to their spam box, depending on the filters they have, or may not get there at all, depending on the filters it has to go through on it’s way. Furthermore, if they don’t recognize your address because they know you, they may automatically assume it’s spam.Also, some people don’t really like sending to yahoo accounts, because once they send to you through their email, they know their email is not only someplace in Yahoo’s cyberspace, but more specifically on your computer. And many people consider that if someone is still using a Yahoo account, that they may not be very security conscious or educated, so they may feel their email runs a risk being on your computer if you were to get hacked.Yahoo is just thought of by some computer saavy people as the creepy old man that hangs out at the schoolyard. It’s just a spammy, icky place to some people.Lastly, if you ever do decide to get a new, free, email account, like a gmail account, for instance, where they have much better filters, there is no reason you need to lose your contacts. They can be exported from Yahoo, and imported into other email services.Need to Export Your Address Book from Yahoo Mail? Here's HowNeed to Import Yahoo Mail and Contacts Into Gmail?

How do I know if someone blocked my Yahoo email?
When you add an email address to your blocked email addresses list there is no notification sent to the blocked email address in question.Whenever your blocked contacts send you a message, they will not receive a failure notice confirming their message was not delivered. Since the email in question will never arrive to your inbox, you will not know they have sent you a message.This works the same if someone has blocked you.
