Yahoo! announced oneConnect in Barcelona (at the Mobile World Congress). Basically it’s their approach to aggregating mobile communications on a single platform. The service will provide features like socially-connected address book, integrated mobile messaging, pulse, favorites and a social contact card. It will also initially bring integration of the major social networking sites such as Bebo, Dopplr, Facebook, Flickr, Friendster, hi5, Last.fm, LinkedIn, MySpace, and Twitter. Wow, impressive!

“Last year we set out to reinvent mobile search with Yahoo! oneSearch, and today with 29 operator partnerships around the world covering more than 600 million subscribers, we believe we have certainly succeeded… Now, we intend to reinvent mobile communications through Yahoo! oneConnect, a revolutionary new mobile communications service that will combine integrated mobile messaging with a socially-connected address book.” (Marco Boerries, executive vice president, Connected Life, Yahoo!)
