Yahoo! Web Messenger

Web messenger's sure have been popular this week, but today I found out about a hot new web messenger currently in beta phase from Yahoo!. It is jammed packed with features, has a simple, easy to follow design, and because it is an official version, it has that insider knowledge that takes away the large bulk of limitations.

I won't go into detail of the features, Yahoo! have made a video summing up the service. What I will say is this is making Microsoft look really bad, their current web messenger is ugly, lacking in features, ridiculously slow and annoying to use. It is way past an update, and hopefully this will push them up a gear.

Remember Google Talk is now a web messenger as well. Microsoft used to be the big guy in this field. It just goes to show a couple years of neglect can change everything in this fast, advancing industry of instant messaging.

WLM users who want to use a decent web messenger can actually use this thanks to the interoperability between Yahoo! Messenger and Windows Live Messenger.

Simply register for a Yahoo! account and then use that to sign into this web messenger. Then add your WLM contacts and get chatting!

I got the news from mess.be, which is useless linking to as they have no permalinks. I've seen this on various other websites including messenger.es, and I've seen no original source. I've presumed the news was started by Yahoo! itself.

So please do not accuse me of 'ripping' news when I've cross-referenced various sources, none of which link back to an original.
