So what if Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) is getting rude? That's the attitude at Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ: YHOO), which is continuing to plug forward on its business.
For example, this week the company unveiled plans for a new product: oneConnect. Basically, it's part of Yahoo!'s mobile platform and has capabilities like instant messaging as well as a "socially connected" address books.

Yahoo also realizes that there's an opportunity to use oneConnect to help organize the clutter in the social networking space. To this end, the platform integrates with Facebook, Bebo, LinkedIn, MySpace and so on. And, of course, Yahoo! is working on a version for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL)'s iPhone.
