What is it?
Yahoo messenger is one of the oldest versions of a chat style communication programme. With this programme you can add your friends/colleugues/family to your contact list. If that person accepts your invitation every time they come online when you are online you will be alerted. Also every time you connect ... ...when a friend is online so you can instant message them. I think the whole idea of being able to see whether another person is online is great but you need to have a good design/layout so you can use the features when you want and not have to try to find the features. Layout;
This messenger service is in desperate need of a makeover. although it has a few features that can spice up your conversations the colours are really dull. The start screen ...

Right then, somehow, despite being certain of rating an opinion on it the other day, I am the very first person to ever attempt a review on Yahoo Messenger. So if someone who has a working search facility could direct me to the correct location I will ask CIAO to move it, but for now it appears I am the first. Hopefully I'll set a good tone.
Now I am a fan of MSN Messenger myself, but I also use Yahoo (and ICQ for that matter). I generally feel ... ...(other than numebr of contacts) is the lookout, generally you can do all the same things on each individual one. However, there two features that Yahoo have that MSN does not, and that is the ability ti sign in invisibly. This is like automatically signing in to 'appear offline' in MSN. I like this as it means you can see who is online before you show yourself - handy if you are not in the mood to talk to certain people, you don't have to talk to ...

Advantages: Chat to people all over the world. Disadvantages: Easy to get booted, Can be slow sometimes.
I have now used yahoo messanger for the best part of 2-3 years, and i have to say, of all the Messanger's you can use, including msn, and icq etc, this is the best i think.

~Yahoo Messenger~
Yahoo Messenger is the instant messaging service from Yahoo that is constant competition with messengers like ICQ and MSN. There will be some comparisons of a Yahoo feature and the feature on MSN to see which service provides it better.

Advantages: Using Http port Disadvantages: No Free SMS like ICQ
It's been a year since the first time I move to my newest office (CIFOR) right now, and since I work as a programmer at CIFOR, I have to stay at my chair to do the programming. Everytime I get bored I always chat with my friends, I always use Yahoo Messenger (YM) to chat with all my friends, and rarely using ICQ.
I don't know which messenger programs is the favourite one in England and other country in Europe, but for me in Indonesia, people who ... ...first reason why I use YM more often than ICQ. The second reason why I used YM more often than ICQ is because YM is more lighter than ICQ, YM is more friendly to use than ICQ, YM is more fun to use right know because there is IM Vironment and it's very cool, and finally YM is using http port while ICQ is using other port.

Advantages: Simple, good voice and video chat Disadvantages: Unstable at times
Along with MSN messenger, Yahoo messenger is messenger is also a must have for every computer with an internet connections. Yahoo introduced many new concepts in instant messaging. For example, yahoo messenger was probably the first messenger that would let talk to your contacts and stay offline at the same time. But now MSN has included this feature in their messenger as well.
Initially, when the average speed of the internet was low, yahoo was ... ...comparatively less time to connect. The voice quality is good. The video quality is also good but both these depend on your internet connection.

The first time I used a messenger service I thought it was the neatest thing around, and I still do. I use Yahoo Instant Messenger at home and at work. This is so much better than MSN Messenger. It is easy to talk with your friends and family in real time. This will save you on long distant phone bills. You can tell when they are online and when they are offline (or any other status). You get so much for FREE, and you can customize it to fit your ... ...your friends, stock quotes, news, sports, weather, bookmarks, and travel.

YAHOO has launched its new messenger version 6.0. generally new version of a software or product means addition of new of features, enhanced security, brand new look and feel but..... the fact is that despite being a version enhancement there is nothing new in this yahoo version 6.

Infact, I would say its not version upgradation, its version degradation.

make yahoo mail as your default mail, tries to add yahoo's toolbar companion. Your choice doesn't matter, it gives a little room to customize the installation. i couldn't uncheck the option of making yahoo mail

Advantages: Its free Disadvantages: booters + hackers
First off yahoo is a free download which enables you to chat to your friends online and have webcam chat , voice chat ( in a chatroom ) or pc to pc calls in a messenger box ( with latest version ) also u can play games with friends in a messenger box and comes with a email address if required. I have been a member of yahoo messenger for some time now and over the past few years i have seen many changes too it, the latest update is a bit of a joke ... ...before it allows you too chat, also they have there own moderator in the rooms ( a bit like msn ) too keep out unwanted spam bots which is a good thing, (-) i still dont think the lastest version has any affects on the booting that goes on and hackers but thats what i would expect from something free too download. (+) You very rarely see robots in chat now with its new update i dont know how long it will last but 100% better than what it used to ...
