Is it time to give Yahoo! Messenger another try?
Those who left Yahoo! Messenger in favor of other platforms or aggregate clients such as Digsby (PC), Adium (Mac), or Beejive (iPhone) may want to take another look at the native Yahoo! Messanger client. Recently the company upgraded the IM service with several new features on both its desktop and mobile versions.
Some of the new features include (information provided by Yahoo!):
- Video Calls – New high-quality video calling enables full-screen, face-to-face chats at no cost, using the familiar and easy-to-use Yahoo! Messenger environment.
- Updates Tab – A new tab helps people easily discover Updates from friends and family, including status updates, recent Flickr uploads, Yahoo! Buzz stories, Twitter updates and more.
- New Yahoo! Insider – Now customizable by zip code, this re-designed welcome window provides Messenger users with easy access to localized news and weather, Yahoo! Mail, Yahoo! Buzz and Yahoo! Search.
- Language Selector – Catering to its popularity among a global audience, Yahoo! Messenger now lets people choose from more than 16 languages without having to download a different version.
- Improved iPhone App – People can now receive messages from Yahoo! Messenger contacts even when they are using a different app on their iPhone.
