Glad to see yahoo messenger on a browser.
But what about the zillion options that the messenger offered – like appearing invisible to particular contact(s), adding contact details for a person through messenger, customizing the chat history options and many more – can any one tell me where and when can i do all these ?

They’ve had web based IM for many many years now so this is definitely nothing new. I don’t believe it was Flash based but I’ve used it for at least 2-3 years and likely longer.

Interesting stats published by Center Networks

Instant messaging is definitely a huge market!

Apparantly eBuddy is bigger than Meebo, in the category of IM aggregators.

While this appears to be a new way of doing it, Yahoo has had a web based version of their IM software (previously in Java) since at least 1999. It’s nice to see a pretty flash upgrade over the relatively ugly Java interface, but overall this isn’t anything they haven’t been doing for years. Really, most of the major IM systems have had web based versions for over half a decade if not longer

i like it esp when the tabs at the main browser “marquees”… when there’s an alert… it’s cool.

Blahh Flash. But interesting move. Kind of funny in a sense. As developers we moved away from runtimes to compiled code. Now we are in a sense moving back to runtimes – where the browser is the runtime.

Screw messenger!

Yahoo is to be a serious player in the social networking space then it needs to buy my site Facebook for eight billion.

Passing on Facebook will be a mistake similar to what happened four years back when Yahoo did not buy Google for three billion. Instead it bought that junkie Mark Cuban’s site broadcast.com for five billion shortly after which it went brain dead like Cuban’s dad. Now how much is Google worth?

Yahoo must take steps to gain a real leadership position in social networking or risk not participating in what could be one of the leading sources of growth in the consumer Internet sector over the next five-plus years. It is this growth that leads me to estimate that in five years time Facebook will be worth at least 15 billion.
If that embarassment Semel does not buy Facebook then he should be fired. That is what happened to Viacom’s Freston after he did not buy MySpace. Having said that if I was a founder of MySpace Tom Anderson then I would have slit murdoch’s throat a long time ago for robbing me and my shareholders of billions of dollars. After buying MySpace for 580 mil News corp does a deal with Google for 900 mil. That was sheer daylight robbery. If Yahoo’s managers are not clueless they will buy Facebook
before it is too late.

This is also a great tinme to be a web 2.0 entrepreneur. Companies like CBS are lining up in the region of three billion for the next youtube. So there is a good chance to hit the lottery even if the product is junk. Often during boomtime people act stupidly like when Terra bought Lycos which is now dead and buried for $12.5 billion and @Home paid $7.2 billion buy for Excite.

Certainly people like Graham Spencer, Joe Kraus, Mark Van Haren, Bob Davis were my role models when I decided to hide online instead of hacking it out in a Mcjob in the real world. They created a junk startup Excite and hit a home run. Though the merger between Excite and @Home fell disastrously short of expectations these bums who took it easy in life laughed all the way to the bank. I hope to similarly be a role model to other net entrepreneurs.

ohh… meebo is still in the game. unless yahoo will incorporate icq and msn, then meebo is really “bye bye”.
