I've been using yahoo messenger since 2002. It's a very useful program; it helped me to make new friends and get closer to my old ones. The program gives you the chance to share photos or large files, to connect with all your friends, to listen to LaunchCast Radio, get weather news and more.

 

The best!

I've been a Yahoo Messenger user since forever. It does freeze sometimes, the audio quality is not as good as Skype's but it's still my favorite way to chat and share documents with my friends!

Nice chat program, with a friendly
"face" . In my opinion the most used chat program.

I've been using Yahoo Messengers for a few years now and I've seen many improvements during this time. It still has a few problems, like crashing sometimes, refusing to connect because of some server problems or slow file transfers. But it has some cool features that other similar messaging application don't have. For example photo sharing that can be used just by drag and dropping the photos in your window, integrated Yahoo! Games, Environments for customizing your window background or Audibles.

Ther's more: the last versions bring PC to Phone and Phone to PC Calls, even if doesn't work perfectly yet; this shows us that YM is a "live" application and Yahoo will keep improve it.

Another "small detail" is that it's truly addictive and everyone's using it, so if you want to use something that everybody's using, that's YM!

Even though most people use it and it is fun to use because of all the features, it is not that reliable.Errors when trying to connect, a significant delay when using voice messages, but a very catchy application after all.
