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: 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: NOPE NOT A ONE!!!!!
Cons: THE WHOLE MESSENGER!!!!!!!!!

First to give you some background I downloaded Yahoo messenger 3 years ago and for the year that I had it on my computer all that happened was bad news!!

Problems:
1:Very easy access not just to you but to the out side world!...

Pros: Lots
Cons: None

This is an absolutely great way to keep in touch with anyone. I use it more than once a day. That is more then I can say for some services. It is free too! So that makes it even better. It tells you when your friends are online and you can even receive...

Pros: Easy to use, cool skins available to make it look neat. Integrated with yahoo email.
Cons: Not enough customization in how it works.

I don't understand why yahoo messenger follows the same stupid method that AOL messenger uses when receiving messages. If you have people on your friends list and any of them send you a message, it stupidly pops up a box showing their message. It doesn't...

Pros: free communications with friends and family
Cons: voice communications can be choppy

I only use Yahoo Messenger for one reason. IT is great for me to keep in touch with my friends and family all over the world. Sure the voice communication is not telephone quality, but it gets the job done at no cost to me or my friends and family. I...

Pros: Couldn't tell you
Cons: Shitty program

I would love to try Yahoo IM, but every time I try to connect I get a message saying it might take a few minutes, but it NEVER connects. I have waited and waited and waited... I thought I might possibly write in to see if I could report a bug, but when I...

Pros: it is easy once you get it set up
Cons: not for newbies

I don't know of anyone online that doesn't have a secondary email account with Yahoo!. The Messenger program is free also

Unlike AOL's AIM, Messenger does NOT tell you if a Yahoo! user is online (even if just checking mail). They have to...

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...

Pros: great interface. easy to find people to talk to
Cons: you have to have a yahoo id to use it which is also free.

Yahoo Messenger is great for just about everything. Well not really but it is great for talking to your friends, setting up get togethers and other things. It's great for sending links between your friends. the thing i like most about it is that no...

Pros: shows how much e-mail is new
Cons: just like all the rest

I keep hearing people talking about "how good" that Yahoo Messanger is. In my opinion it is just another pain in the butt to have on my task bar. I mean come on now! WHy do I need Aol, ICQ, AND Yahoo? If someone wants to get a hold of me I...

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: none
Cons: doesnt work much,freezes up,messages dont get sent all the time,many things out there that are better

This is one of the worse messengers out there.Don't download it,I downloaded it and it worked fine for a little bit then it messed up.I deleted,downloaded it again and when i login..it says illegal operation and shuts off.


The messages...

Pros: Great customizing methods, good help service, neat layout, usually fast-loading.
Cons: Can only have a certain amount of friends on your buddy list.

Okay. I'm very impressed with Yahoo!Pager's success. Now Yahoo!Pager is called Yahoo!Messenger, w...
