SAN FRANCISCO: Yahoo! forged ahead Wednesday on its months-long takeover binge with word that it had bought Xobni, a startup behind tools for better managing contact lists and e-mail inboxes.
Yahoo! did not disclose how much it paid for Xobni — which is 'inbox' spelled backwards — but said it planned to use the startup's technology to improve Yahoo! Mail, Messenger and other "communications offerings."
