Now Facebook Contacts Importer in Yahoo Mail

The communion of Yahoo-Facebook which was announced December last has begun to take shape with the announcement from Yahoo confirming reports that users will now enjoy the ability to import their pals from Facebook into Yahoo Contacts.

The significance of the integration implies the increasing reliance of Yahoo on third-parties for social services.

It is also equally important for Facebook that has been unwilling to permit access to outside parties to the social graphs of its users.

You can now easily all the email addresses of your Facebook buddies to Yahoo Mail and this renders easy communication with people, no matter where you are in Yahoo!

This move just goes to solidify the fact that Yahoo has abandon efforts to build its own social services.

A broad and diverse deal was signed with Facebook the year before and Yahoo has also been concentrating on integration with Twitter.

How far the strategy turns out to be effective in the long run is yet to be seen but presently, the company is lending its focus to ‘core’ services.
