Yahoo! today launched a new, free application for iPhone and iPod Touch users called oneConnect.oneConnect has a rather ambiguous name which makes sense once you understand it’s purpose. oneConnect attempts to give you one application to connect to all your various social networks. Of course, it connects you with all your contacts in your Yahoo! Messenger friends (which can include Windows Live Messenger users), but oneConnect also connects you to your contacts on many of the most popular social networks. Which networks? How about Facebook, Flickr, MySpace, Youtube, Bebo, Dopplr, Friendster and Twitter, for starters?
There are a number of interesting features in oneConnect. First of all, the contacts button shows a complete list of all your contacts, regardless of which network they belong to. Your Yahoo! Messenger friends, Twitter contacts and Facebook buddies all show up in one big list. The general idea is that this will make it easier for you to stay in touch, since you can use “one app to rule them all.”

This is GREAT! It works a lot like Ping.fm, allowing me to update all my social networks at once. Is there a web-based version though?
You can run oneConnect on a variety of mobile phones, but I have tried to find a web-only version to no avail. If anyone knows of a way, please let us know!
I saw oneConnect on another phone (not an iPhone) and it still looks pretty good. You’ve pretty much gotta have unlimited internet if you’re gonna use it much, though.
On the iPhone it looks really sweet.
The Yahoo! Messenger blog has announced the release of an update to oneConnect for the iPhone that includes stability and performance improvements.- You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
