Viewing a Contact’s Profile
Many of your Yahoo! contacts have profiles on Yahoo! Pulse that you can view to learn more about your friends. You might find out about a friend’s favorite hobbies or music. You can access profiles through Yahoo! Messenger, including those of your Facebook friends if you’ve linked your Yahoo! account to your Facebook account.
Tip: You can’t view profiles for your Windows Live™ Messenger contacts and Pingbox™ visitors.
Here’s How
To view a friend’s profile, click the display image (or place the cursor over it in compact view) to view the contact card, then click View Profile.
The contact’s profile opens in a Web browser.
What’s Next
You can create your own profile through Yahoo! Pulse and personalize it so others can learn more about you. For information, take a look at the Welcome to Yahoo! Pulse video tutorial.
