I use Yahoo for its camera related email lists on subjects other than
Olympus. I have a Flickr account because it was a requirement to
participate in a local photo related event. But even though I had a
Yahoo account I still had to sign-up to at least activate the Flickr
account (which has gone unused since the photo event concluded)
I have a Google account but don't use Google for anything but news, maps
and language translation.
