If I link my Yahoo Messenger to facebook, is it going to invite Yahoo friends to connect on facebook?

I love the idea of using Yahoo to chat with my facebook friends! But - I am afraid that if I hook up my Yahoo and Facebook accounts, it will start inviting people to be my facebook friend.

Does anybody know anything about this? Can you put my worries at rest?> I have hundreds, if not thousands of contacts on Yahoo. But I want to keep facebook more personal - just for connecting to close friends and relatives.

Hey Michelle

(^_^) All it does, it just lets you chat with your facebook friends (as-well with your Yahoo IM friends) without you having to leave Yahoo Mess'! and it will not automatically invite people to join facebook at all.

This is what Yahoo said -

"When chatting with your Facebook friends through Yahoo! Messenger 11, you will appear as 'Online' in your your friends' Facebook chat window. However, the Facebook users will not have any indication that the person they are chatting with on Facebook is using a non-Facebook client. This is also true for other clients such as AIM or Digsby."

So...it looks like you're OK to go
