Still catching your breath from the last Product Pulse? We’ll go easy on you this week.
- Mail and IM to marry: Have you been following the news from the coveted Web 2.0 conference? Then you’ve probably heard that Yahoo! Mail and Yahoo! Messenger are engaged! In just a few months, you’ll be able to chat live with your Yahoo! Messenger friends from your Yahoo! Mail account. Stay tuned for the big day.
- Getting a bull's-eye just got easier: If you're a regular Yahoo! Answers user, you’ll immediately see a difference on your next visit. When you enter a question, a list of suggested categories now helps you correctly categorize your question. If you’re more interested in offering your two cents, you'll run into fewer errantly categorized questions. Catch up on what else is new.
- The holiday countdown begins: Strapped for cash? Don’t know what to get your gadget geek? Yahoo! Tech to the rescue. Check out holiday tips from our tech gurus, get shopping advice, or take advantage of the interactive gift finder to find the perfect present.
