Yahoo oneConnect: Communications and Social Networking in your Pocket

Posted on Feb 12, 08 09:24 AM PDT

[MWC] Yahoo is launching oneConnect, a communications and social networking mobile application. The idea behind it is simple: it’s about people. Yahoo oneConnect can hold your contacts information and tell you if they are available on YIM or MSN Messenger. From the Contact screen you can also map a route to that contact’s address or check emails exchanged with this person.

The social networking aspect lets you know what your friends are up to because Yahoo has built bridges to Bebo, Facebook, MySpace LinkedIn and many other popular services. You can even sort your friends by location.

The user interface is really nice, and we will test the service as soon as the download becomes available. From the screenshots, it looks like it is compatible with Microsoft Exchange – and if that’s true, it would have further ramifications… stay tuned and come back to Ubergizmo for an update.
