Yahoo seems to be in the news for quite sometime now. Although we must say, for all the good reasons. Just when we spoke about Yahoo and its host of new features, we came across yet another intriguing news from the popular service. Yahoo freaks gear up! The company is revamping its mail, messenger and search that are expected to be much more fun than its existing services, reports the official Yahoo blog.
The whole idea behind adding these improvements to their products is to ‘get social’. These upgradings include several social networking features like allowing users to instantly alter their status updates and share their articles with friends.
“The evolution you see today reflects our focus on enabling people to connect with what matters to them most,” shared Ari Balogh, Yahoo! executive vice president of Products & Chief Technology Officer. “This renewed focus on providing a more personally relevant online experience began with our recent Yahoo! homepage launch and continues to come to life across products like Mail, Messenger and Search – with much more to come.”
The new Yahoo Mail boasts of a Facebook-like news feed wherein users will receive a timely update about all the various changes from their contacts. Also, it includes a multi-select and drag-and-drop function that enables effortless photo attachment, thumbnail previews as well as easy rotating of images before sending them. Furthermore, the size limits have also been remarkably increased from 10MB to 25MB.
Next up, the novel Yahoo Search includes two menus to the left of search results which adds search results from popular sites like YouTube, Amazon, Wikipidea or ehow.com. In addition to this, it offers users to explore related concepts as well as narrow down the search results by type.
Finally, Yahoo Messenger 10 Beta is another super-cool version of the earlier 9.0 version messenger. This version flaunts features like HD video calling and voice feature along with adorning functions like drag-and-drop photos for instant-sharing and other social improvements. Also, it makes the Insider page that pops up when the application is introduced to look more like a home page.
The novel Yahoo search is expected to reach U.S users in a couple of months. There’s no word on when Messenger and Mail should be ready for access. So, get ‘yahooing’ guys!
