Yahoo uses CTIA as the launching pad for oneConnect for the Apple iPhone, as well as improvements to its Blueprint mobile programming platform. Yahoo is showing how it plans to open up its Web services to integration with third-party vendors.

Yahoo this week used the CTIA Wireless show to preview availability of its Yahoo oneConnect social address book in Apple's iPhone App Store and upgraded its Blueprint mobile development platform.

OneConnect, which Yahoo introduced last February, lets users integrate their Yahoo contacts and communicate with them via instant or SMS messages, or check on the latest activity from their social networks.

OneConnect is part of Yahoo's YOS (Yahoo Open Strategy) to open up its traditionally siloed services used by some 273 million Yahoo Mail users, allowing them to be more interactive, making the application more social and collaborative.

The company is accelerating YOS at a Yahoo Hack day at its Sunnyvale, Calif., headquarters, where it is opening up its portal to services from Amazon, Netflix and others. Yahoo has already opened up its search platform to let third-party programmers write widgets that aim to augment the search results.
