[From ScoutMan] Thanks to ScoutMan who dropped me a line to let me know that the new Yahoo Mail is live with the ability to send text messages to mobile phones in the US amongst other countries. It i set to take up to six weeks for all the new features to become available to all 254 million Yahoo Mail subscribers in 21 languages worldwide. "The Yahoo Mail overhaul is part of a drive to transform its e-mail franchise into more of a social activity that blends the convenience of instant communication with the implicit network of relationships found in one's online address book. Already this year Yahoo has been testing another feature that lets its e-mail users communicate using conventional e-mail or via instant messages using either Yahoo Messenger or Microsoft Live Messenger." - Reuters via Gizmodo
