Yahoo on Wednesday released an overhauled version of its Yahoo Mail Beta client that it says is twice as fast as the previous version. The new version also adds features such as an integrated Twitter client, rich-media previews and a more full-featured IM client.Yahoo says the speed boost should be especially noticeable to users outside the US with latency issues, as the new version makes use of the company's cloud computing technology. This means that if the user has an unreliable connection, the app can adjust its behaviour to keep pages from timing out or becoming unresponsive.
Aside from the speed and performance increase, which Yahoo says were the top requests from users, the company has added a robust Twitter client, which joins the existing social-sharing tools for Facebook and Yahoo. Users can post to Twitter, or to any combination of the other two services, as well as see Twitter status updates in the update stream below. Yahoo has long had a way to incorporate Twitter feeds, but now users can reply and re-tweet without leaving the page.
