Yahoo! Messenger Online Chatting and Conferencing Forrest Stroud
Online Chatting and Conferencing
Despite its many features, Yahoo! Messenger is first and foremost a chat tool. In addition to being able to exchange instant messages with friends, Yahoo! Messenger also makes it possible to set up text-based group conferences or carry on voice chats with one or more users. While Yahoo! Messenger doesn't offer built-in access to hundreds of topic-based chat rooms like AOL Instant Messenger does, you can easily access a variety of Yahoo! Chat Rooms using any Web browser.
As far as finding other users to chat with, Yahoo! Messenger's search capabilities make this a quick and painless process. A search button connects you to the Yahoo! Profiles Search Web page so that you can find friends and family with active Yahoo! Messenger accounts. The Profiles Search page makes it possible to search for other users by typing in all or part of their name or their User ID. Additionally, you can use the search page to find users with interests that match your own.
