Yahoo Becomes More FriendFeedlike, Adds Updates From 20 Outside Sites
Fri, Jan 16th, 2009
As part of Yahoo’s Open Strategy, today it is letting users add updates from their friends based on their activities on 20 other services across the Web. These updates will appear in a FriendFeedlike fashion on Yahoo members’ profile pages and in Yahoo Mail.
