Pros: Yahoo works even when my computer freezes up
Cons: none that I can think of

It is one of the tools that I use daily. I can chat on Yahoo Messenger and surf at the same time. It is real time personal chatting. I have ICQ and AOL instant messaging and Yahoo is by far the one I use the most! I have made many friends with Yahoo...

Pros: good friends list, no popup
Cons: crashes my comp, gobbles up words

Pros: free, easy to use

I have used Yahoo Messenger for over a year now and Love it. It is a tool that is not intrusive to my computer screen, yet offers many useful features. I have previously used AOL/IM and ICQ and prefer Yahoo Messenger. This service offers many...

Pros: messaging

Pros: setup and ease of use...
Cons: disconnections and slow sometimes

Yahoo messenger is the best chat system out there today. I have had yahoo messenger every since it was pager, and wouldn't trade it for any other chat system at all. The fact that you can chat with friends and surf at the same time is a very very good...

Pros: Has a Chatroom
Cons: Connections Terrible

This is the ghetto version of AOL IM. Yahoo Messenger works when it wants to, but not always. Messages are often lost and the connection lost during high-traffic times. Messenger also has the downside of not being able to block users, so anyone can send...

Pros: voice chat is clear/crisp
Cons: If yahoo is overloaded with people takes a little while to connect

Yahoo Messenger is so easy to use and it is a very handy gadget. I would be lost without it. It has so many built in features that you can use without even opening your homepage first. Just get connected to the internet , open the messenger and it will...

Pros: There are lots of people to chat with.
Cons: There is not much I can say bad about Yahoo Messenger, at all.

I think Yahoo Messenger is the best. If any of you guys felt like adding me, my account is jenny888841

my messenger has stopped receiving off-line messages. I can get no help from yahoo. I have deleted and downloaded new messenger 4 times! It is most frustrating... it works for other ID's but not my main one!!
