(CNN) -- People who use both Facebook and Yahoo will be able to link those accounts and share updates and messages across platforms thanks to a major redesign rolled out by Yahoo on Monday.
It's all part of a move by Yahoo -- and other established online players like Google and Hotmail -- to get more social and further integrate with other sites. In February, Yahoo announced a similar integration deal with Twitter.
"As the place that 600 million people visit every month, Yahoo! is in a unique position to bring together different social experiences from across the Web to a single place," read a post on the official Yahoo! Yodel Anecdotal blog.
The blog said the Facebook integration is part of an ongoing plan "to rewire Yahoo! to be more open and social".
On the main Yahoo page Monday morning, users were able to click a Facebook icon on the left of the page to link the two accounts. Then, with another click, they could set the icon for "QuickView," which makes a Facebook news feed appear when the user scrolls over that icon.
Similar functions work on Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Sports, Yahoo News and entertainment sites like omg! and Yahoo Music.
