Talk about going more social. Yahoo is waking up from its slumber and making itself more connectible with Facebook as the Mail provider now enables users to update their status on the social network right from their inbox. There has been quite some movements lately from Yahoo, and this one follows Yahoo’s earlier move that let uses import their contacts from the social social network.
The procedure is pretty simple. You can link your Facebook profile to their Yahoo account. With this done, the next time you update your status on Yahoo, it will be automatically be updated on your Facebook profile too. Other than that you will also be able to see your contacts Facebook profile pictures of the contacts if those images are available. Plus the profile picture offers you a shortcut to their Facebook profile as well. While this does sound quite impressive and Yahoo is blowing all trumpets with how it is making its user experience more social, the winner is actually Facebook.
Why? Well slowly and gradually Facebook has grown exponentially and firms small and large have continued to make it an integral part of their existence. Other than that, it shows how almost every other service is ensuring that it provides more social, aka Facebook, options within their services. A good move from Yahoo, but it was inevitable.
