Yahoo Messenger
Yahoo! Messenger is a popular advertisement-supported instant
messaging client and associated protocol provided by Yahoo!, that allows
you to see when friends come online and to send them instant messages.
It also can alert you to new e-mail in your Yahoo Mail or Yahoo
Personals accounts, or when you have upcoming events recorded in your
Yahoo Calendar. Yahoo Messenger offers firewall support, a standby mode
that minimizes the program until an Internet connection is made, the
ability to save and print your conversations, and a tabbed interface
that provides quick access to your favorite stocks, news, and sports
scores.
Yahoo! Messenger is provided free of charge and can be downloaded and
used with a generic “Yahoo! ID” which also allows access to other
Yahoo! services, such as Yahoo! Mail, where users can be automatically
notified when they receive new email.
Yahoo! also offers PC-PC, PC-Phone and Phone-to-PC service, file
transfers, webcam hosting, text messaging service, and chat rooms in
various categories.
Other features include the ability to create a chat room
automatically, stock price alerts, the ability to send messages to
friends (even if they’re not online when you are), a Quick Compact mode
that hides the Messenger tools to maximize your viewing area, Messenger
Themes, and voice chat, which allows you to talk for free to anybody
else on the Internet. It also includes Launchcast Radio, Yahoo Games,
and Yahoo Audibles. Using a Webcam, you can see who you’re chatting with
or view the Webcam of any Yahoo member who has granted you access.
Yahoo! has announced a partnership with Microsoft to join their
instant messaging networks. This would make Yahoo! Messenger compatible
with Microsoft’s .NET Messenger Service. It also made Microsoft’s
Windows Live Messenger compatible with Yahoo!’s Network. This change has
taken effect as of 2006-07-13, – Yahoo! Messenger has integrated
instant messaging with Windows Live Messenger users, and is fully
functional.
System requirements: Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, 7.
