Yahoo! Messenger
Stocks, News, Sports, Alerts, and More
Forrest Stroud

Stocks, News, Sports, Alerts, and More

While there are no AOL Instant Messenger ticker-style windows available with Yahoo! Messenger, the client's tabbed interface makes it simple to switch between the five default Messenger windows: a listing of friends and family for exchanging instant messages with, a stock quotes screen, a window for news headlines, another for sports scores, and finally a display for any personal alerts you might have. In addition to these five windows, three additional windows can be opened for weather forecasts, travel ticket prices, and Web site bookmarks.

If there's a downside to all of this information, it's that some of the content is limited relative to the amount of information available from more specialized Web sites. For example, the travel and weather tabs for Messenger display most major cities, but many smaller metropolitan areas are not available. This is in contrast to weather sites like weather.com and travel sites like Travelocity, each of which supports hundreds of cities more than Yahoo! Messenger.
