The best program they’ve made!
It doesn’t get better than this, because it’s not only chat, you can send free text messages to internationally, not all countries are provided, of course.

And, free PC to PC calls. Better, PC to phone calls

what you want more then that?

I liked this version of yahoo messenger. For me yahoo search, yahoo mail, finance, news and messenger are integrated part of what I do on the internet for last 10 years. Really liked different languages and integrated media player. Y! IM rocks……

At least somebody is making some updates to their IM… MSN has been pretty much static for what… YEARS now?

@ #12 – Shams: I guess you haven’t seen the preview for “Yahoo! Messenger for Windows Vista” currently being developed? http://messenge...indowsvista.php

When that is finally released, it’ll without a doubt provide THE richest user experience ever seen in an IM application.

@JS: Agree, but you can disable those apps if you want to.

I just wish they’d release a linux version … Their linux version is sooo old. Installation for Red Hat 6,7,8,9 ? Hello, are we living in the stone age ??

Yahoo IM is like a virus. It installs 10 apps that you never asked for, screws up your browser, adds plugins, it’s like having your home invaded by robbers. Yahoo hasn’t made a single improvement to it’s IM client in the past 8 years. The only difference between versions is the amount of unwanted crap it installs. Good job Yahoo, but I’m going to keep using Trillian.

Virtually everyone I know uses Yahoo Messenger here in the Philippines.

I’m not really keen on tabbed IM windows. I find it easier to alt-tab and I rarely chat with more than 4 people concurrently anyway. However, if they come up with tabbed IM windows and an option to disable it if not needed, that will be great. So far, this beta release is ok, IMHO.

Use this daily. Yahoo! Messenger is famous in Asian countries.. specially in India! The most used IM Client! Good features they are rolling, I am in love with their web version web.im or webmessenger.yahoo.com ! Just too great!

Cheers!

Second after AIM? Wow! I use MSN, Yahoo and ICQ, and occasionally that thing built into GMail, but not AIM. In fact, I had an AIM account ages ago, but there wasn’t anyone there. Or would AIM be considered the same as ICQ?

@Allen Stern, Do you live on the Virtual Earth or Google Earth? Because, more than 200 million people on real earth use Y! IM. It is ranked second after AIM.

Is anyone using Yahoo IM anymore? Mark – you note Yahoo grew 19%, AOL 2% – it’s a lot easier to grow from 19% from 100 than 2% from 4 million
