The Next Synergy Updates: LinkedIn & Yahoo

Posted By: Tim Carroll Wednesday, September 9, 2009 10:02:29 AM

linkedin yahoo logos One of the biggest breakthrough features of Palm's webOS is the Synergy PIM aggregation, which pulls together all your contacts and other data from various online services into one centralized repository on your device. So, it's with great enthusiasm that we greet the news that Yahoo! and LinkedIn will soon be joining the roster of Synergy services, as announced alongside the new Palm Pixi.

Yahoo! of course will be offering contacts, calendar, push email and Yahoo! Messenger integration, as we (somewhat obviously) predicted back in February. LinkedIn, a social network targeted at job seekers and professionals will be especially welcome to business types, pulling down all your contact and associated information (including job titles) and helping make webOS a more compelling option to Blackberry users looking to jump ship. There no word yet on whether these upgrades will be featured in upcoming webOS 1.2 update, but it would seem a reasonably safe bet.

With my outlook, personal and now LinkedIn contacts merged, I finally have what Plaxo gave me years ago.

If only Plaxo hadn't started to suck.
