Scum suckers of the world unite

Advantages: Great program
Disadvantages: Unpleasant visitors

"I LIKE SEX" "HOT VIRGINS ARE MY SCENE" "YOU UNITED SCUM SHOULD BE BRUTALLY MAIMED" Oh dear, dave27 has gone absolutely mental and is trying to offend as many minorities (yes, United fans are still in the minority) as possible in the space of three lines, what's he on? Well, actually it ain't me, and if you've spent even five minutes in the shadowy world of Internet chat forums, you'll doubtless identify the above witty repartee as being fairly ...
...pleasure when you log into this sort of program. Like them or not, chat programs and chat rooms are a core part of the Internet and not to be ignored. They've also had to bear an extraordinary amount of bad press over the last few years for the satanic activities associated with them. Recognise, however, that like guns, it's not the chat rooms that are evil, but the people who use them for the wrong reasons. Of course, Internet chat facilities are ...

CHATTER HAPPY YAHOO

Advantages: make new friends
Disadvantages: some large rooms can disappointing

Yahoo.com has more than just news information etc, it has all the features of a typical web host but the real reason of this opinion is yahoo chat. It offers its own version of MSN, AOL and ICQ, registered Yahoo’ers can download a simple messenger which is very similar to those listed. This allows you to chat one to one instant message style, or add a contact; people with similar interests to yourself can be located easily through the people ...
...on other messengers, and the ability to change font styles, colours and emotions are included too. As with MSN that requires you to have a Hotmail email account , you need to sign up to yahoo and get an email address, however you don’t have to use it, only to get your messenger, this notifies you while you are using it whether you have new mail and you can access it instantly from messenger. Another good point here is that it is virtually ...

TO IM OR NOT TO IM (INSTANT MESSAGE)

Advantages: Meet new friends
Disadvantages: Getting booted off the system

We got our computer (second hand) back in April/May of this year and immediately downloaded Yahoo Messenger, a must to use in all Yahoo Chat Rooms. You can log on under as many aliases as you wish. Once logged onto the system there are a number of categories for you to enter ie: Teens, Romance and Relationships, Music etc. You can enter the chat rooms in two different ways. If you have downloaded Yahoo Messenger you can enter via this way (which ...
...you need Java enabled to see the chat window and to see who is in the room with you. Once in you can start chatting. There are a number of things that you can do within a chat message. You can add emoticons, ie smiley faces and certain ones do certain things. ie. <:-> will make an emoticon with big hands (ie a hug)and there are various others that you can do as well as the original ones, :-) ;-) etc. You can also change the look of the text by ...

yahoo or msn

Advantages: easy setup
Disadvantages: hard for learners

Yahoo instant messenger Yahoo messenger is it like the other? The answer to that question is it is similar; icq, msn and yahoo are all the similar instant messengers.

Yahooligans everywhere

Advantages: Lots of info in one place, good email storage
Disadvantages: Receive lots of spam, website is aimed more at US users.

...the UK signing up with Yahoo.com maybe wasn't the smartest idea I ever had, however it was 12 years ago when I signed up, I was young and naive. I mainly used Yahoo.com for the email account that you get, it's a free account that gives you a lot of storage. It's a webmail service which means that your mailbox is online and as such requires no space on your hard-drive, but you have to be online to access your emails. Setting up the account is easy ...
...offers' aka spam. Yahoo.com as a whole has a whole load of other features, similar to any other major email/broadband provider. Such as chat sites, dating, music streaming, movie news, finance, messenger, games etc. I used the chat sites a long time ago, and back then they were fun, but now they are a lot more moderated and swearing seems to be a big no no, even in the adult rooms. I also used to use the Fantasy Football (UK Football) it was good ...

Yahoo? More like Yahpoo!

Advantages: It's free, OK if your friends use it and you can stay out the chatrooms
Disadvantages: The users, the booters, the chatrooms.

Way back in the mists of time (1995 to be precise) two Stanford students, David Filo and Jerry Yang, set up a search engine called "Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web". It wasn't really a search engine as such, just more a categorised guide to the net. As happened with such things, it went commercial and rebranded Yahoo because the founders liked.the definition of Yahoo which was as a rude, unsophisticated, uncouth person. It evolved, and eventually ...
...Now you could chat with your mates AND go into chat rooms as well. The question is, is it any good? Well it's been around for a few years now, and to be honest that depends. Why? Read on. My main reason for getting Yahoo back in 2003 was primarily becaise several of my friends were using it. Up to then I'd always used the good old IRC networks, which I discovered back in 1995 when I also first got online. The problem was my mates weren't as technically ...

LEAVE ME ALONE

Advantages: It's fun and interesting if used sensibly
Disadvantages: Can be addictive, and there are some really weird, nasty people out there

I love chatting online, with friends and family, as it's a good, cheap, easy way to communicate with people who are either miles away, or it's too expensive to ring them. Yahoo! chat was the first chat room that I began to use, and it's a bit naff and tacky, but does the job. Apart from the weirdos online of course. You can either access Yahoo! chat through the internet off www.uk.chat.yahoo.com, or by downloading yahoo! messenger off the website ...
...ikon on your desktop, which opens up "messenger" in which a list of your "friends" pops up, and you can chat to them directly. Or, you can go into a chat room. I prefer now to chat on messenger, because I can get to my mates through it, and chatrooms are full of really weird people nowadays. When you go to enter chat, you chose a name, and register with yahoo, and chose which room you cant to chat in. I prefer chatting in UK rooms, but there are ...

Yahoo Chat - Love It Or Hate It

Advantages: Instant access to lots of people
Disadvantages: Not everybody is nice

I have been using Yahoo Chat for just over a year now and I think it is great! It is really simple to set up a chat id. Just fill in your details and find a chat name that isn't already being used by someone else. This can actually take a long time if you are going for obvious names. Although Yahoo will suggest alternative versions of what you are after by suggesting you add the current year or UK to the end of it. There is a profile for every id ...
...free email service which is handy if you want it to match your chat id. And it leaves it up to you exactly what information you want to make available to other users. So you can stay as anonymous as you wish. Yahoo Chat itself has lots of different categories. Anything from Adult rooms to children's television programmes. So you shout be able to find something that will interest you. There are general chat rooms too where you can just talk about ...

Do you yahoo.............

Advantages: A good way to chat and get to know people.
Disadvantages: There can be some technical errors with sound and logging in.

Yahoo messenger is a messaging system that lets you text and talk at the same time. I first downloaded yahoo messenger about 3 years ago and have never looked back. After many upgrades, all free might I add, I use messenger to stay in touch with many friends I have made online. THE DOWNLOAD The download is very simple as you just go to yahoo home page (www.yahoo.co.uk) and click on the link there for messenger. This takes you to a page where u ...
...couple of minutes later you have yahoo messenger on your PC. You may find though that you need to upgrade before you can use voice chat. This is a bit of a nuisance as Yahoo have updated messenger but not the link on the homepage. THE WAY IT ALL WORKS Yahoo messenger has a very simple layout. You can send an instant message (message), chat in yahoo chat rooms (chat), make a call or add new friends(add) at a simple click on the relevant button. ...

Yahoo messenger is TDB

Advantages: Easy to use, free, supports Linux
Disadvantages: Becoming difficult to think up original Nicks

I was introduced to Yahoo messenger by a friend and I have to say I'm hooked. I have spent hours chatting to my friends on it. I like the fact that it's difficult to get spam (unlike ICQ) and you can ignore people if they happen to have p****d you off. The software is very easy to use and understand, pretty small to download (if you need to, I've got the 'doze version included with my modem's drivers which is pretty nifty I think) and the website ...
...conference and it alerts you to new Yahoo mail (which is sent to your Yahoo mail account which is automatically set up when you register). The most important thing though is THERE'S A LINUX VERSION and it works!!! That's right, Yahoo have finally got on the bandwagon (I like to think as a direct result of my harrying BICBW). There are also MacOS, Java(which is a bit pants to be honest) and even WAP versions although I don't have experience of all ...

Yahoo

Advantages: easy to use
Disadvantages: Booters

I have been using yahoo chat for quite some time now and I think it's excellent. Having looked around at other chat sites, and noticed how slow, hard to read, or have few options, I would recommend yahoo to you. Registering -------------- Its easy to use yahoo, registering is easy, Come up with a name/Id fill in the details about yourself and takes only two minutes. If lets say, you wanted the Id Mapoco, and it was took, yahoo, would assist you ...
...to your Id, e.g. mapoco2002 Profiles ---------- When you set an Id up, a profile is also created for you account. The profile says whatever you want other chatters to know. Just like the profiles on ciao, you get to put as little or at most what you want to put about yourself. Such categories you can see on profiles are: Description about yourself You're Favourite Quote Latest news in your life Favourite Link Can also add a picture and some ...

THERE'S NO POINT IN READING THIS

Advantages: One of the best chat sites on the web
Disadvantages: Can be a huge waste of time (you can waste hours), full of 'undesirables'

Does reverse psycology work? Can I spell psycology? Let's see. Anyway. I first went onto Yahoo Chat some time ago, I was under the illusion that it was a place to share ideas with like-minded people, and to make friends with people with similar interests. However, after many hours spent on the site I've come to the opinion it's a total waste of time. Signing up and Sigining On. chat.yahoo.com is an easy to use site. You simply go to the site, log ...
...have to get a Yahoo ID. This is the name others see you as. DON'T choose your own name! Some of the peole on the site are definately not the type of person you'd want to know anything about you. However, also remember that people will judge you by your name, so choose it carefully- for example, my initials are AL, so i chose a name with A 1 in it, because this looks like AL. However, everyone now assumes that I'm a fan of a teeny band called A1- ...

Do you Yahoo or Do you Yahell

Advantages: Very easy to use Interface
Disadvantages: Cant always get into rooms due to being full

...visit the messenger side of Yahoo.com which can be accessed by visiting the main website of Yahoo. The download file itself is about 2700 kb or 2.7 MB, and once downloaded the installation itself is fully automatic. Lets get to the nitty gritty the overall look of yahoo is rather good 5 outta 5 for this one!! Its interface is split up into various sections once you log on, might I say that for logging on you can use either the automatic option; ...
...you connect to the Internet. You can configure it to store your password or you dont have to... My personal preference is to launch yahoo when I want to and not when windows starts and have the password saved so when I do launch yahoo it automatically signs on to the yahoo network. You can have the option of signing on in the state of invisible if you choose - this is a status that allows you to sign on as normal but anyone in your friends list ...

yahoo messenger

Advantages: fun, easy to use
Disadvantages: when your friends use a different one

I have been using Yahoo Messenger for about a year now so thought it was time that I shared my views on it. Yahoo messenger is a system to send instant messages to other people who are online at the same time as you (you can also send offline messages for them to pick up later). It is similar to MSN messager and icq. They are all free to download, and are upgraded regularly. As you can tell from the amount of time I have been using it, I find this ...
...There are however disadvantages too so I've listed the advantages and disadvantages below: Advantages: Can send instant messages to people Like the smilie feature (if you use symbols such as :) to represent being happy in your message it converts it to a picture of a nice smiley face) Good invisible feature (unlike icq it makes you invisible to everyone rather than everyone except your friends). Nice away message features where you can state ...

yahoo chat

Advantages: you can use symbols
Disadvantages: it's just too big!

i dont personally think that yahoo chat is very good, the one bad thing about it is that it has just too many chat rooms! it's hard to keep up with the conversation as it moves so fast, i find i get bored being in there as i cant hold a proper conversation. a good thing about it is that u can use symbols and also indicate next to your name whether you r busy or un able to chat or whether you will be back in a couple of minutes. ...
