Yahoo! recently released the official Yahoo! Messenger 7.0. http://messenger.yahoo.com/ This is the official version and adds some new functionality to the previous Messenger. QUOTE Free Worldwide PC-to-PC Calls
Drag-and-Drop Photos
Improved File Sharing I know that it has not been out that long but i was wondering if anyone else has tried it. I have used it for the past couple of days and I think it is an improvment, small improvment, yet at least a step in the foward direction. The most advanced feature that I have tried was to send a file which I almost fell over backward when it actually worked. I still have to do some research to see if Messenger 7 uses the same protocol as Messender 6 (YMSG ver 12). That is the my biggest concern about the version, and of course what will be the first exploit found

I am using yahoo messenger 7 since its launch and yes it is better than the earlier version. The interface is improved. In India version we can see the cricket score right into the messenger which is very good for a lot or cricket fans here in India. Althought I have not tried the file sharing method but I will try it soon after reading the above post.

I hate yahoo mail and yahoo instant messenger. The instant messenger is just a plain design and colour. The mail is just rubbish seriously! They only have a few mbs and the layout is just appaling! For me I would recommend gmail for your email and MSN messenger for your instant messaging, that what I use and they are free, reliable and easy to use.

Personally, I seriously doubt that Google will have a successful messenger that will top MSN messenger of even Yahoo messenger. Google is more of a search engine and e-mailing system rather MSN and yahoo concentrate more on their e-mail systems and instant messengers. The Gmail e-mail system is good but I don't think their messenger would be very popular.

(0) Jerry Yang the current CEO and one of the original founders will be leaving the CEO post soon and

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

Yahoo! Profiles Updated

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

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! Dodges The Bullet

(http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2008/may08/05-03letter.mspx), Microsoft outlined several
reasons why they let the offer slip. There are concerns that a deal between Yahoo! and Google would

It Still Looks Like Microsoft Messenger May Still Happen
(9) Over the past week the talks of Microsoft buying Yahoo! has not diminished. Recently Slahsdot

both a Microsoft press release

(http://yhoo.client.shareholder.com/press/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=303369). The bottom line is
that Yahoo! hasn’t said no, they just want more money. In my mind the simple fact that Microsoft
has not backed down after the initial offer means they will se....

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

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

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....

“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 With 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.....

shape in its infancy with one of the first Internet applications, email. While the Internet was
still ARPANET and with only four links, the first email message was sent by Ray Tomlinson in 1971.
The first message consisted of the text “Testing 1-2-3” and did not contain any of th....

and I guess you can say everyone is a bit fake in one way or another online, but, I think this
