Yahoo! oneConnect looks like a very nice applicatin for aggregating a ton of your on-the-go needs, particularly if you are one for staying in contact, and messaging your best buds. There are a bunch of instant messenger services that are accessible through oneConnect, including Messgner, AIM, and Yahoo’s own, but also some other interesting sites/services like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Last.fm.
However, it would appear that both Microsoft and Facebook perhaps are not so happy with the way that oneConnect is aggregating their content feeds (or the fact they are even doing it) – interesting, because we are seeing more and more of this cross-pollination of services in different apps/websites, and obviously everyone wants to own the aggregrating user interface! Anyhow, you can read more about oneConnect on Yahoo!’s site here.

About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
