Yahoo! Messenger is an advertisement-supported
instant messaging client and associated protocol provided by Yahoo!. Yahoo! Messenger is provided free of charge and can be downloaded and used with a generic "Yahoo! ID" which also allows access to other Yahoo! services, such as Yahoo! Mail, where users can be automatically notified when they receive new email. Yahoo! also offers PC-PC, PC-Phone and Phone-to-PC service, file transfers,
webcam hosting, text messaging service, and
chat rooms in various categories.
Yahoo! Messenger was originally launched under the name Yahoo! Pager on March 9, 1998.[1]
In addition to instant messaging features similar to those offered by ICQ, it also offers (on Microsoft Windows) features such as: IMVironments (customizing the look of Instant Message windows, some of which include authorized themes of
famous cartoons such as Garfield or Dilbert), address-book integration and Custom Status
Messages.[2] It was also the first major IM client to feature BUZZing and music-status. Another recently added feature is customized avatars.
