Yahoo! has announced that they are launching a series of new social and local features. Zynga titles Maifa Wars and FishVille will be integrated into the site. Also, Twitter, Yahoo! Messenger Beta with new social features, and the launch of Yahoo!’s Local Offers program will all play a part in the revamp.
“Our job is to connect you with the people, places and things that matter most to you — whether that’s making a restaurant reservation, finding a discounted tee time, or playing popular online games with friends,” said Blake Irving, executive vice president and chief product officer, Yahoo!. “By enhancing Yahoo!’s most popular sites and services with social experiences like Zynga and Twitter, great local content, and a new platform for sharing your voice with the world, we’re making Yahoo! an even better place for everyone to stay entertained, productive, and informed.”
