DIGG IT! The Yahoo Mail team has fully integrated instant messaging into the new Yahoo Mail. What is cool for me is that this application is powered by Flash Player at the protocol level with YIM. The Yahoo Web Messenger team used Flex and ActionScript 3 to integrate with Yahoo Instant Messaging protocol using flash.new.Socket. The addition to Yahoo Mail launched today leverages this same codebase allowing an AJAX application to directly integrate with YIM's backend. Instead of polling for new messages, the full protocol of YIM is exposed as events to the AJAX UI of Yahoo Mail.
It is great to see another great application integrate with Flash Player 9 and ActionScript 3.
Cheers,
Ted :)
