| | Yahoo has added Yahoo Chat to Yahoo Mail. In other words when you are browsing your e-mails, and if some of your contacts are online you can chat with them.
You are immediatly signed on yahoo chat, when your yahoo mail turns on. And in the left panel, next to contacts it says 0 online or 3 online, depends on how many of your contacts or online.
Then you can just put your mouse over where it says how many of your contacts are online, click and you can pick with who you want to chat with.
It is pretty amazing, and I think that Yahoo Mail is getting better and better. 
Yahoo Mail is like Microsoft Outlook, except for free. An amazing e-mail provider!  |

I like Yahoo, but the chat thing I don't really find useful since I use AIM.

Another useless innovation IMHO and it's very similar to GMail's GTalk offer. However, there are those who would actually use it. I prefer a stand-alone web messenger like the MSN Web Messenger. Plus, they already have a stand-alone Web Messenger, so I was thinking ... "why bother?" xboxrulz

I suppose that I am in a unique position where this is a very bad thing for me. I like to check my Yahoo! Mail from work but when I switched to the new layout it tries to sign me into Messenger automatically. This presents a problem for me as mail is allowed at work but any chat software is not. Every time my browser tries to sign into Messenger the request is stopped by the firewall. This might not seem like a big deal but my network administrators are on the VERY strict side and each time the firewall blocks something a log entry is made. Enough log entries and you get called to the principal’s office to get paddled. I don’t know about your but I don’t like the principal’s office.

I personally don't like the integrated chat either. Gmail has the same thing and I don't like using it from there as well. Those who know me, know that I use an all-in-one instant messaging program like Trillian. All my IM needs are there

I have tried the new additional feature, but I did not feel too satisfied. I prefer a flash chat room with radio and video talk. Any one here know the website www.shanliao.com chat room?

I dont like yahoo messenger chat since their network seems to be so slow. I dont know how to go into multiple channels and other options. I usually get Indian people over at our regional areas and sometimes it is just too slow and annoying. I am still a traditional MIRC chat user and Messenger/Chat really does not work out quite fine.

New Ceo For Yahoo!
(0) Jerry Yang the current CEO and one of the original founders will be leaving the CEO post soon and
returning to the position of “Chief Yahoo” (http://tech.slashdot.org/tech/08/11/18/0151242.shtml).
Many are speculating that pressure from the Microsoft take-over offer a few months ago has led Yang

Yahoo! Messenger Firewall Changes
(0) Yahoo! announced on their official Messenger blog (ymessengerblog.com) that unspecified changes will
be made to the way firewalled users will use Messenger. The article mentions that only users that
are using version 8.x and signed in from behind a firewall will be affected. An official message
will be sent by Yahoo! urging users to upgrade to the latest 9.x version of the software. From a
programming standpoint this will most likely only affect Messenger operations that require a peer to
peer (p2p) connection such as file sharing. When performing a peer to peer oper....
Yahoo! Profiles Updated
(2) Yahoo! has changed their profile system and more has changed besides the layout of the page. When
transitioning to the new system all of the user data was cleared and pages for aliases were removed.
Additionally, personal information such as age and location are now protected in a manner similar
to Facebook or MySpace where you must be accepted by the user. Apparently many users are not happy
with the new system as shown in

Yahoo! Messenger Challenge Response Algorithm
(11) Here is a question that came into my forum and I thought it needed wider coverage. Q: Can you
explain the Yahoo! Messenger challenge response algorithm? The Yahoo! Messenger challenge response
sequence is quite complex and unique to Yahoo! The challenge comes from the server and is then run
through an algorithm on the client. When looking at the challenge and response in ASCII view it
almost looks like a mathematical equation but it is not. This complex algorithm came from several
years ago when the username and password was sent in plain text over the network an....
Yahoo! Messenger Power User
(5) I just received a very weird message when I logged into Messenger today. It said “Congratulations,

doing a quick Google search

Yahoo! Messenger Talking To Google Talk?
(7) While Yahoo! was off fighting Microsoft, they made some deals with Google to put a slightly tainted
taste into the merger deal. The most notable one was an ad revenue “trial” where Google would serve
the ads on Yahoo! pages in return for a very favorable share of the profit. Over the past week it
appears that the trials were very successful and Yahoo! has agreed to a more permanent deal with
Google that would continue the deal, pending any anti-trust issues. Mixed up in this agreement is a
paragraph that indicates future interoperability between the two IM platforms (....

Yahoo! May Add Openid Support
(1) An article from Security Focus (http://www.securityfocus.com/brief/665) states that Yahoo! is
considering adding support for OpenID (http://openid.net/). This would add Yahoo! to the growing
number of sites that are supporting the open source effort. There is no mention of Yahoo! Messenger
but I would guess that it will not be supported immediately by the desktop client. For those who
have not heard of OpenID I would suggest doing some research. It promises to get rid of the
hundreds (perhaps thousands for some) of separate website passwords. You could essentially u....

Tapping Yahoo! Messenger Phone Conversations
(4) The latest post on the official Yahoo! Messenger blog appears to be out of place to me
(http://www.ymessengerblog.com/blog/2008/01/04/recording-yahoo-messenger-calls/). It is not part of
the usual suspects of promising unneeded features or unabashed promotion of Messenger. Instead it
is a fairly useful commentary on how to record a Messenger phone session using third party
applications. The Yahoo! Messenger blog references a New York Times article

Yahoo! Messenger 9 Beta Preliminary Review
(15) I have been using the latest version of Yahoo! Messenger for over two weeks now and I would like to
give a quick review of it. Overall this is not a major change from what I know as Messenger. As it
has been said before, this is evolutionary not revolutionary. From what I can see there are no new
features (at least none that I would use), the user interface (UI) is prettier, and it looks like
there have been some bug fixes; that’s it. Under the hood there are some things to note. The
current version of the YSMG protocol with version 8 is 15 and Messenger 9 has bee....

Messenger Mail Bug?
(2) Over the past few days (It is September 23, 2007 now) I have noticed what appears to be a bug in
Yahoo! Messenger concerning unread mail. No matter if there are unread messages or not, Messenger
always reports new mail. I have even gone through the trouble of deleting EVERYTHING from my mail
account and it still pops up. The same behavior happens on Yahelite and Pidgen so it is a server
side bug. Yahoo! has been upgrading their server so I would expect that this is a side effect of
some of the upgrades. Of course this could be confined to me so let me know if you ar....
“discovr” New Friend With Yahoo! Messenger
(2) The latest blog post from the Yahoo! Messenger development teams is about Discovr, a proposed new
way of sharing Messenger contacts. As is stands Messenger is a closed social community. It is very
hard to discover new buddies unless you start trolling around the chat rooms or have a buddy in real
life. Discovr is a method to make Messenger more like Facebook or Myspace where everyone knows who
your friends are. Discovr came from Hack Days, a common occurrence at Yahoo! that encourages
different departments to throw out new ideas. (To think Yahoo! actually names it H....
Captchas + Yahoo! Chat = No Bots (for Now)

(http://blog.messenger.yahoo.com/blog/2007/08/29/new-entry-process-for-chat-rooms/). Just before
the Labor Day weekend Yahoo! started making users enter a captcha before they could enter a chat
room. This could possibly mean that the chat rooms will be bot free for the time being. My first
impression of the system was not that bad. I logged in with Yahelite and was quickly prompted to
enter the captcha in a separate dialogue box. I do have to admit that the process did ....
Yahoo! Chat Room Survey
(2) Back in May Yahoo! swore that the chat room problems were going to be fixed. Again this past month

beginning of the year. The porn bots and booters were always there so I never considered them to be
a problem. I use YahElite to chat so most of the garbage is filtered out anyway. My big complaint
is with not being able to get into a chat room at all. When I go to sign in there is usu....
Yahoo Mail Going Unlimited

Yahoo! Protocol: Part 11 - Booters Introduction

Yahoo! Messenger Protocol Tutorial - Part 2

shape in its infancy with one of the first Internet applications, email. While the Internet was
