Social networking right from your email account?





As was reported today on CNNMoney.com, Yahoo! and Google will soon launch another exciting feature to allow their email users social network through their email accounts. The companies are trying to make accounts into personalized home pages to challenge current social networking such as MySpace and Facebook.

With a pre-existing e-mail account which already has a social graph that shows the connections you make while you e-mail your friends, Yahoo! Mail and Gmail users can now engage in social networking with their friends, colleagues, etc

This innovation will come at a time when the social networking market is fighting for dominance with Myspace, as the leading social network in terms of user membership.

The question is: Will email users be attracted to Yahoo! and Google's new initiative or just stick to Myspace, Facebook and others?
