Yahoo! OneConnect: Mobile email, IM, SMS, and social networking
OneConnect is basically a mobile web service that will let you manage e-mail, IM, text messaging, and social networks all in one place. That means you just need to deal with a single contact list. You can quickly find a friend and send them a message in a variety of formats. Or you can view your friends status updates from Facebook or other social networks.
The service uses an open API, which means anyone can create plugins to communicate with services that aren't already supported. This also means you'll be able to communicate with your contacts whether they're using Yahoo! services or not. For example, you can send instant messages to AIM, MSN Messenger, or Google Talk users.
OneConnect also uses location-sensing technology to let you know when you're physically close to other Yahoo! oneConnect users on your contact list.
Yahoo! announced oneConnect today at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, but it won't be ready for use until Q2 2008.
