Maybe Yahoo will export it out the back door to users through an API before Facebook notices? Yahoo pipes perhaps? Seems unlikely, but at least the data's not all as much in control of only one company now. Two is hardly a whole lot better when it should be the users themselves, but it's not really worse than before. So where the OP says it's not a loss and you say it is, I say this has no impact.
