Jason Titus at Social Graph Foo Camp, February 2008
summary
Yahoo Mail claims a latent social network in 260 million users and plans to surface connections and context by extracting travel, receipts and topic signals from messages, turning email into a smart inbox. The approach is to open Yahoo as a platform, invite developers (CES demo referenced), support OpenID, and let apps take slices of mail for features like travel coordination (mentions tripet) and communication analysis (mentions socialistics) to enrich mail.
