If you like Facebook, the chances of which are pretty high, then you would have always wanted some sort of option that would allow you to update your Facebook status right from the comforts of your Yahoo Mail. Guess what Yahoo has done just that. That's right Facebook status update option is now a real thing for Yahoo Mail users.
Here is the official announcement:
If you use Facebook, Yahoo! Mail is getting better for you! As you may have heard, Yahoo! is putting a big focus on bringing you more social features, and this evening Yahoo! Mail is rolling out another handy way to connect with your friends. In select markets, we’re adding the ability to update your Facebook status right from Yahoo! Mail and see your friends’ Facebook profile photos when they email you.
To turn on these features, first link your Yahoo! and Facebook accounts by clicking on the “Add to Facebook” link in the status section on the What’s New page in Yahoo! Mail.
This shouldn't come as a surprise for you folks since one of the top ranked sites worldwide had previously indicated it plans of bringing more excitement and services for its users. I would really love to know what Yahoo meant by select markets.
