  • Ow.

    Feb 22 '03
    Pros: Fun. If you're bored enough to consider getting abused as fun.

    Summary: Okay, so me and my friends were at a sleepover. I am 12, by the way, so if you didn't know this, well, now you know. Anyway, we were having fun but we got bored at about 11:00 P.M. Since my friend, whose name will be "Kiara" had gotten a new computer ... read more

  • thousands of Valid IDs are blocked

    Oct 07 '02
    Pros: webcam and voice chat
    Cons: unreliable, denies service, ignores complaints, completely unresponsive to problems

    Summary: Yahoo has huge problems with its chat servers. For months, thousands of valid Yahoo IDs have been blocked in error. This lock out seems to only affect Yahoo Chat and Messenger and not the other Yahoo services. Yahoo is unresponsive and seems to be doing ... read more

  • Free Chat. AOL Can't Beat That.

    Nov 20 '01
    Pros: It's free. AOL is not.
    Cons: Runs on Java which is a little unstable.

    Summary: For all intent and purposes Yahoo Chat is simply Yahoo’s attempt to keep people involved in their service. Their chat program is simple and direct. AOL by far has a more powerful chat client only because have had far more time in developing ... read more

  • My Second Choice

    Jan 04 '01
    Pros: Ease of use
    Cons: Not as popular and as jampacked as ICQ

    Summary: My first chat on the Net took place with Yahoo Chat. Nobody taught me how to do it. I just casually went to the Yahoo web site and clicked the Chat link. Of course, it asked me to sign in with my Yahoo user ID and password, but I was all setup in no ... read more

  • "Yahoo Chats" Looking For A Chat Service That Has Very Little Chat?

    Dec 30 '00
    Pros: Easy to use, Yahoo! messenger
    Cons: Very little actual chatting going on at all times.

    Summary: It is really hard to rate chat rooms due to the fact, that it really depends on what the chatter is looking for when he/her chats. My Epinion will be based on a chatter that is looking for one thing when he chats, chatting. That is the one thing I did ... read more

    Nov 25 '00
    Pros: Plenty of variety
