Yahoo Messenger Adds Support To Import Contacts From FaceBook
If you are a Yahoo messenger user, you must have already been introduced to the import contacts options in quite sometime back, the import function supports importing contacts from various websites like GMAIL, Hotmail / MSN, MySpace, Orkut, Comcast and more.
In addition to the already existing domains today Yahoo has added a option to import contacts from FaceBook, this option is available when you choose Import Contacts –> Contacts from the Yahoo Messenger menu.
The service for retrieval is powered by TrueSwitch a company that deals with migrating data from one ISP to another.

Any idea when the reverse functionality will be available; i.e. Facebook having the ability to find people you IM using Yahoo IM? Facebook can already do this for AIM and Windows Live Messenger.
