This document explains how to use your contact card to see your friends' updates.

The Contact Card contains information about the various ways to contact your friends along with a listing of their latest Yahoo! Updates.

To see a Contact Card, click your friend's display image in the Detailed List view of your Messenger List.

Your friend's Contact Card:

• The upper part of the Contact Card lists your friend's Yahoo! ID and shows you a variety of ways to contact them (PC-to-PC call, text message, "Call Work," "Send Email," etc.).
• The lower part of the Contact Card shows you what this person's been up to recently via Yahoo! Updates. (If they've made their activity public.) For example, if they recently wrote a review of a restaurant or a movie, you'll see the first part of it here, along with a link to the rest of the review.

Your Contact Card:
