Yahoo does social-network aggregation with OneConnect

Hm. Social networking aggregation fused with mobiles is THE thing of 2008. I saw this coming from a long way off, but am surprised that Yahoo was able to come out with something already.

But, it's good to see the heat getting turned up. I think there will be many ways to do this and everyone will be able to learn from those that come before them.

There's also a video (see below) showing what it's all about.

On Tuesday, the company announced at the GSMA Mobile World Congress here OneConnect, a new tool that allows mobile phone users to aggregate their social-networking updates and messaging in one spot on their phones. The service integrates directly with a phone user's address book and allows people to share status updates and messages from a variety of messaging and social-networking platforms. This means it can provide status updates from Facebook or MySpace.com as well as provide access to e-mail and archived instant-messaging chats.
