Yahoo is working hard to make its Web e-mail service unparallel and for that it acknowledges the need to promote more and more social fix. It was this Wednesday, when Yahoo announced its intention to release the new version of its Yahoo Mail Beta client. It was promised that this new version would be twice as fast as the previous version, and include the new features like an integrated Twitter client, rich media previews and a more full-featured instant messaging client.
Yahoo says this speed boost should be especially noticeable to users outside the U.S. with latency issues, due mostly to the new version making use of the company's cloud computing technology. This means that if you're on a spotty connection, the app can adjust its behavior to keep pages from timing out, or becoming unresponsive.
Yahoo briefed that as speed and performance increase were among the top user’s requests, along with that they had also added a very robust Twitter client, which extends the already frequently used social-sharing tools for Facebook and Yahoo. You will not only be able to only post to Twitter, but also any combination of the other two services as well. Not only just a stream would be running instead, now you will be able to do things like reply and retweet without leaving the page!
Moreover, among these changes, the most valued change includes Yahoo changing the welcome feature in the form of media previews. Plus, now when you will get a link to a YouTube video, a Flickr or Picasa photo set, you will be able to view that content without leaving the message. This integration means that now Clicking on any of these items, as well as attached photos, will open them up in a simple lightbox viewer on the same screen.
To get all these new features, all the users have to do is to to opt in to Yahoo's Beta for Mail. They are not yet integrated into the company's Classic mail service.
