Yahoo! today began applying a feature to all Yahoo! Mail accounts that have a Facebook account attached to them that allows users to update their status straight from Yahoo! Mail.
One feature that was introduced today is the ability to update your Facebook status via Yahoo! Mail. When you setup your Yahoo! account with a Facebook username and password, it automatically adds an option under the "Share" box that allows you to share your status to Facebook and Yahoo!.
The second feature that was announced today is that whenever someone that is a Facebook contact in your Yahoo! Mail account sends you an email, their profile picture shows up in the corner of the email.
Last month, Yahoo! introduced the ability to import Facebook contacts into Yahoo! Mail.
Yahoo! is certainly trying to become more of a social connection site, and so far, they are succeeding.
