Yahoo’s new tool Pulse to allow users view Facebook content on Yahoo Homepage
Yahoo is soon coming out with a new tool called Pulse which will allow users to view content from facebook and other social networking sites on Yahoo.com and Yahoo mail. Pulse will behave as an aggregating tool which pulls out realtime content through news feeds from social networking sites and display it on Yahoo network.
The Pulse integration is a part of Yahoo’s deal with Facebook in December last year. Yahoo says this new tool prevents its users diverting towards social networking sites like Facebook as they can view all their content right at their own network.
Even before Pulse, Yahoo tried to get content feeds from Facebook and Twitter through its “Quick View Feature”, but Pulse will be much improvised tool offering new levels of integration with Yahoo mail as well as other yahoo services and will be a tabbed interface.
Pulse is much similar to Google Buzz but Pulse will come with better features like user controlled privacy and Facebook integration which the latter lacked.
Although Yahoo has not confirmed an exact release date for Pulse, but we expect it to launch in coming few days.
