this url talks about notifications:

http://developer.yahoo.com/yap/guide/anato...ifications.html

any more info on how to actually use this and send a notification?

i see this is what profiles uses to send a message?

http://profiles.yahoo.com/get_component.ph...=privatemessage and submitting a form.

uh, any insight into how we can use that in our apps to comm with our connections?

You can send implicit messages using the yml:message tag in your full page view. Here is an example:

CODE

<yml:message name="message-tag">
            <input type="hidden" name="image" value="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/42/279286083_000b85496e.jpg?v=0">
            <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Watch StrongBad now!">
            <input type="hidden" name="body" value="Xavier just sent you a bottle of Dom!!! - Don't take it, it's a bad 1993!!">
            <input type="submit" value="send a bottle of Dom to your friends now!">
</yml:message>

You can trigger a share panel with the following code:

CODE

<yml:share>
<input type="submit" value="Share this app">
</yml:share>

hope this helps,

And the picture shows up in the window but not in the email. Why is that?
