Yahoo! oneConnect was released for the iPhone! For those of you who aren’t familiar with oneConnect, it is designed to help you communicate with not only your Yahoo! friends, but also the friends you have on social networks like Facebook, Flickr, MySpace, Youtube, Bebo, Dopplr, Friendster and Twitter.
It makes it easy to pull up anyone from your contacts and quickly call, email, instant message, or text/SMS with them…all from the same place. You can also get status updates from what your friends have been doing on your favorite social networks. If you look at the example picture to the right you can see hat you can select which contact channels appear for each of your Favorite contacts.
With a quick tap I can send an instant message or initiate an email to my first contact (note the “
Available” status). I can also see that my friend Thien is offline, but since I have his mobile number it defaults to SMS. I also have 3 different email addresses on file for him, but have chosen to only display the one I use most.
