Yahoo! Messenger

Pros: Varied and Creative emoticons, hidden emoticons, many formatting options, status option, send file option
Cons: Conferencing

Ahhhhh! Internet speak, despite my great linguistical interests and love of high brow British literature, I love it. Its quick, trendy, sleek, spunky, exclusive, ever-changing, versatile, and progressive (yes, I read the thesaurus for fun). And since I...

Pros: Best instant messenger ever, Worked for my Router!!!
Cons: not compatible with other messengers

There are 4 kinds of popular messengers on the net. They are all free.

AOL, MSN, PAL, YAHOO messenger.
Among all, Pal from excite.com has been taken out from my list.

All seem to off the same things until I had my router...

Pros: a great way to keep in touch with family and friends.
Cons: can be annoying at times, especially when you're aggravated.

I'd have to tell you: I really enjoy Yahoo! Messenger. Not only is it a piece of cake to use, but it's a lot like AOL, except you don't have to subscribe to something to get it. It is a great way to keep in touch with family and friends, and a great...

Pros: Invisible mode, Yahoo alerts, IMvironments, Private Chat rooms, Offline messages, & more
Cons: None

I use three basic instant messengers. Not that three is a special number, just some friends and family only use this one or this other one. Anyway, they are AOL Instant Messenger, Windows/MSN Messenger, and Yahoo! Messenger.

Yahoo is one of...

Pros: Basic features like chat, voice chat and file transfer provided plus IMVironments
Cons: Too much bandwidth, UI could improve.

Introduction
With Internet becoming a household must, communications have taken a new dimension these days. Internet chat is fast becoming one of the fastest and most convenient way to communicate. Given this popularity of chat, a lot of chat...

Pros: Simple to Use
Cons: I'd rather use ICQ

I have been using Yahoo Messenger since it first came out. I just upgraded the other day to the newest version which has many new features included. I probably won't be able to go into all of the features that are included since there are so many so if...

Pros: Nice looking user interface.
Cons: No mac voice chat support

When I went to the download page for this messenger, I saw that there was voice chat. "Cool." I thought. They 've got a version of this for my chosen OS. (Or so I thought, since the download information doesn't say that the voice feature isn't included...

Pros: Invisible log on, webcam, chat access
Cons: Can we do something about the billions of yahoo spambots?

I like Yahoo messenger. But I'm one of those freaks that likes yahoo in general, so you may want to take everything I saw with a HUUUGE grain of salt.
Nah, just kidding. Really, if you're not on Yahoo messenger, you should try it. Because MSN...

Pros: allot of features
Cons: looks drab

Yahoo Messenger has allot of features but it definitely is not very pretty to look at. The interface is very drab looking. Messenger is well integrated with the Yahoo portal. Therefore,it makes it easy to access Yahoo content. User can start...

Pros: Tons of members, unintrusive program, a great addition to the portal
Cons: Crashes sometimes, sometimes kicks people out, the IMVironments don't always work

Yahoo! Messenger is a great instant message program, with a few minor problems. First the positive things:

There are a ton of members using this service. Chances are so are your long lost friends or the love of your life. For those of you...

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Annoying and lack of features

The Yahoo! Messenger is just a total copy cat over all of the other instant messaging programs like ICQ, AIM, and MSN. Yahoo has "TRIED" to take all of the ideas and make them one, and in my opinion, they failed.

Their interface looks exactly...

Pros: Fun, good for work/research, chatting and organising lifestyle
Cons: Pathetic hacking, imitations etc could happen if someone simply knows your postcode and birthdate. Grr!

Before, these messenger programmes were not that popular, but since the arrival of unmetred internet access in the UK, they are familiar to a considerable proportion of users.

If you are not familiar with what Yahoo Messenger is, it is a...

Pros: Easy to use. Server side buddy list. Yahoo notifcations.
Cons: Poor Linux Port. User defined status msgs local not server based.

Yahoo is an all-in-one service. It offers Web page hosting through its acuired company, Geocities. It also offers Classified ads, Personal Ads, Auctions, News, Tons of games, a Briefcase to transfer files to trusted parties, a mapping feature (which I...

Pros: Great integration with other Yahoo services
Cons: Not as widely used

I tried this long ago and wasn't impressed; I've been using AIM daily for 3+ years, and while lots of other people are on AIM, it lacks some definite big features of YIM. The latest (beta) version I downloaded made me a believer. Check out the features:...

Pros: All pro's
Cons: none

I love to yahoo and do you know what? I even can talk live with friends for free...here it is: you go into yahoo chat and click on something that you don't think a lot of people will be in and you get your friend to go in as well and then you both have...
