Yahoo gets personal with “oneConnect” mobile tool
By
Unfazed by Microsoft Corp’s bid to acquire it, Yahoo Inc launched a mobile phone tool to let phone users share personal details from their favorite Web services with friends in their address books. Yahoo! oneConnect is expected to become available in the award-winning Yahoo! Go 3.0 and Yahoo!’s new mobile home page in Q2 2008.
Yahoo on Tuesday said it was introducing a new tool it calls oneConnect that fits snippets of the Web’s most popular services — both from Yahoo, and rivals such as Microsoft, Google or Facebook — onto the small screens of mobile phones. OneConnect will be made available in the second quarter. Versions of the service can run on a majority of mass-market mobile phones sold around the world.
