Go shawty, it’s your birthday! We gon’ party like it’s your birthday! Happy 32nd to the man who turned half a dollar into multi-millions! After you’ve done your best thug pose, take a look at what we’ve rapped up:
- Extreme (avatar) makeover: Check out the new Yahoo! Messenger plugin, which allows you to make over your mom’s, friends’ or coworkers’ avatars. Find your inner Carson Kressley by choosing new hair, outfit, background, pets, or any of the fun extras. If you’re looking for the quick fix, just hit the "Makeover Magic" wand and it’ll auto-create a wild new look. The only caveat: they need to "accept" your renovations. Work it, woooork it!
- Time to face the music: Get Yahoo! Music Videos on Facebook with our new mashup app beta. It combines Facebook's personalization features with our massive video library to create a customized video theater. The app automatically locates videos that match the artist info in your profile as well as your pals' profiles. You can also make public or private video dedications to your friends and choose any video to post on your profile. Read more here.
- More juke for your box: Yahoo! Music just overhauled their Yahoo! Music Jukebox with a new interface, faster loading, larger images, and some new features like “auto-play” and “recent searches” — no need to retype your past 20 searches. It’s a free download, so what are you waiting for?
