Yahoo releases oneConnect preview for iPhone
Yahoo has released a preview of an iPhone client (iTunes link) for their oneConnect service. Basically, it integrates your Yahoo and iPhone address books with a variety of social networking sites like Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, Flickr, etc. (see here for the full list). You're then able to use Yahoo Messenger or SMS to communicate with contacts, or see their status updates, etc. from the various services.The idea behind oneConnect is to aggregate your different social networking sites into one interface so you don't have to keep switching between, say, Twitterrific and the Facebook application to keep on top of what's going on with your various friends. It looks like it could definitely be handy if you have friends spread across different networks.

I found it and installed but so far, its buggy and slow. Also, i get spammed alot and each contact that spams you is automaticlly added to your contacts, its a real pain to remove them too.
It could be a great app but in its current state its more of a hinderance.

Surprisingly highly quality stuff. Both the contact list and IM are very well done. IM/SMS works in landscape mode even. Awaiting anxiously for push notification to roll out (assuming this app supports it).

I think this has a lot of promise, but it'll have to come quite a way before it's usable. I find that it crashes often. And, hopefully, they will add Jaiku, LinkedIn and Pownce to the list of services that it works with.

I'm having a problem adding Facebook. 100% sure that email and password are correct. I think this has some very possible benefits. However, I find that it crashes often. Unfortunately, I can't find any support link or forum to try to find out fixes. I really think I could like it, but it'll have to come a ways before it's workable.
