Long time ago I remember my first using the messenger was by Yahoo! The first computer I had and I had no idea what “messenger” even was which at that time I believe I was only maybe three to four years old and I just stumble upon “Chat” and finally came across to a website, which directly to Yahoo! search engine, well portal to be exactly because when a website has several features on a website including news, weather, mail, auto, sport, and featured different things on front of a website that would be considering portal and I saw “Messenger” on Yahoo! website and was wondering what it was and I finally found out that messenger was a instant messaging system which where everybody can download the software and then adding other friends that you know and have a way to chat with them through it while having the access to the internet. Remembering my first adding a contact was an old girlfriend of mine that I recommended to also download on their computer, at that time I didn’t even know MSN, AIM, ICQ and other messengers being exist. I thought that Yahoo! was only a company or whatsoever that was the only one that invented a messenger. Oh joy, it was a old classy Yahoo Messenger back in 90s running I believe version of 2 or maybe 3 and 4 with only very small feature which is the ability of adding a friend contact onto the list and send instant message to a friend and or to send a file to and there wasn’t even photo sharing feature like they have today, you would have to send the file through to a friend’s computer in order to view the picture or any of file.
Now they are running with loaded features such as photo sharing that don’t require to send a file to your computer which in this case also would save you some space on your computer, you just open a photo sharing and then browse a picture that you want to show and your friend only have to view it on the inside of Yahoo! Messenger without saving anything on your computer, unless of course you manually save it to your computer by pressing a save button. Also a webcam, forgot about that the older version in 90s did also have web cam feature but it was very slow, lagging and poorer quality but now it has a better quality, more faster and more stability with including a voice — Voice to voice/call to call while being on web cam, how cool is that! And has a lot more games to it that everybody can play directly from yahoo which it would be you vs your friend but again the old version of Yahoo! Messenger did have game feature as well but only very few which in this case it was classic chess and checker. But they went big on this one, now they have Yahoo! Messenger 11 but currently it is in beta but working rather great and haven’t encounter error yet and has been using it for a while now. Now while FaceBook is being more popular nowadays, Yahoo! Messenger decided to integrate FaceBook instant messaging system into Yahoo! Messenger friends list directly from FaceBook contact list/friends list which you won’t have to be using FaceBook on the web in order to chat with your friends that is online on FaceBook. If you have Yahoo! Messenger 10, which most of people still using Yahoo! Messenger 10 didn’t know that Yahoo! Messenger 11 beta is out now should go to Yahoo! Messenger website to upgrade your Yahoo! Messenger for more better feature, such as FaceBook chatting. Yahoo! has been my most favorite of messenger over any of other instant messaging software such as MSN and AIM (Sorry guys! But I love them too, not as much as I do Yahoo! Messenger). Yahoo! Messenger is now easier to use. I recommend you to upgrade your Yahoo! Messenger if you are already running version 10 or older, because if you are then you surely are missing the great features that Yahoo! Messenger offers. I know you love FaceBook, most of you do. Then you should click here and go to their website to upgrade your Yahoo! Messenger 11 beta.
Now what’s more exciting is, what will Yahoo! Messenger would be in 2012 or so? I am sure they already have few of ideas on how to make it even better!
