Hello! Do you use yahoo messenger for chatting? Or, you use yahoo beta mail which has the feature of chatting within the mail like gmail?
I was using yahoo beta from last few months thinking that there's no need to install messenger to chat. But from last one month or so some problem is going on with yahoo beta that the chat feature isn't working for few days in between, again it becomes normal and after a day or two, again it doesn't work. Have you also observed this?
So, now am use yahoo messenger or gmail to chat with friends.

Hi there Vani! I didn't even tried Yahoo! Beta when it was offered to me. And I just created a gmail account to use when yahho is down which happened twice already. I use yahho messenger for chatting, mostly with my loved ones that we left in Manila when we moved here to the province. We usually chat using headsets and webcam so it makes me miss them a bit less whenever we chat. It's better and more practical than calling them long distance or on my mobile phone. I am really thankful for yahoo messenger like most of our customers here in our internet cafe. Most of them are people who have loved ones overseas and yeah, there's still those young ones who just loves chatting and some hoping for a romance to start online.

Yes, chatting with loved ones living away with headphones and webcam feels great. So, yahoo messenger is really best. Thanks for responding!

yes i use yahoo messenger for chatting .now iam using yahoo beta mail also it give all facilities of chating, but it doesnot give all facilities of yahoo messenger, like foto file sharing, like profile pic viewing, webcam facilities.
so far as only chating is concerned yes we can chat and no need to login separatley we can simply chat while checking e-mails. but if like to chat seperately yahoo messenger is best.

Hello indiavani, Yes I use yahoo messenger for chatting with my friends and relatives abroad. I have installed it even before the new yahoo email beta format came out.
I am also using the yahoo beta for email but I am not using its messenger that comes built in it. I have tried several times but found problems like the once you've mentioned. :-)

I don't use the new Yahoo beta. I use the regular Yahoo Messenger for chatting. It has a feature where you can call PC to PC (voice chat), which is just like talking on a phone but a little choppy though. Sometimes I can't understand what my friend is saying.

I still use Yahoo ! messenger to be in contact with my friends. I have not tried Yahoo's new Beta version yet. But I think It would be packed with a lot of new features. Gmail is also good providing inbuilt messenger.

In order to save money, I have started using Yahoo messenger as my home phone, because it's cheaper to make calls that way. I got tired of paying what I pay for home phone so I switched to yahoo for my phone. As for e-mail, I still have the original setup. it's easier for me to see.

I use both yahoo messenger and skype to chat with my son who stays in another state. I choose either one of them and this normally depends on whichever is clearer on that particular moment. At present I find that skype chat is much better than the other in my area.

Yes of course, I am using Yahoo Messenger. For me, I will choose Yahoo Messenger because I believe Yahoo messenger have a lot of good features rather than MSN. It is more user friendly messenger and a lot of people using it. And all of my friend using it. And you can share all about the stuff you want when you are using Yahoo Messenger.

I'm a huge yahoo messenger fan.
I can't really explain why.. probably because it was one of the first ever and I started using the internet long time ago ..
What I absolutley don't like is MSN... no idea why.. I used that also long time ago but... after some time it just wasn't something I like.

Yes, when I am chatting with my friends, i use Yahoo Messenger. I found it convenient and user-friendly. But I don't use it regularly I just use it when necessary and I am on-line. I don't have other messenger installed in my computer. besides, all my co-chatters uses yahoo messenger also.
