Group hug! Friends on Yahoo! and MSN can soon share instant messages.
For instant messaging fans, this rates right up there with the Berlin Wall. Working hand-in-hand with our friends at MSN, we’re hammering out a solution to connect our two thriving global IM communities.
Which means soon (we’re thinking the first half of 2006), friends on Yahoo! Messenger with Voice and MSN Messenger can see when friends are online, share IMs and emoticons, easily add new contacts from either service to their Messenger Lists, and more.
I used Trillian for a while and then gave it up. Its too "heavy", plus at that time, it was missing some of the functionalities, that are in stand-alone IM softwares. Not sure about the latest version, though. But a more stream-lined solution is, ofcourse for all these IM services to have compatibility. AOL, most likely, will be the one against such compatibility, cz in their narrow vision, their #1 position as IM will become endangered. Buffoons!
Well, as a matter of practice and policy, anything you put in an email or IM or phone or whatever, should be able to stand up to scrutiny by security agencies. Doesn't matter which service you are using.
i tried trillian for a few days. didnt like it much. so now i just use yahoo, msn and aim individually.
but i like yahoo better cuz i can leave offline messages. :)
I would be the first one to use it. I like Yahoo Messenger much better than MSN Messenger but it does me no good if most of my contacts are on Msn messenger. Can't wait for this.
