Yahoo! Messenger Beta support VOIP
Filed in: Downloads, Technology, VoIP, Yahoo! — May 18th, 2005
Yahoo late Tuesday will introduce a test version of instant messaging software that promotes VoIP communication and the Internet media company’s new social network.
Yahoo, whose No. 2 instant chat service has an estimated 65 million users, will offer a free update to Yahoo Messenger during its test phase. In addition to letting people send standard instant text messages, the new version is designed to make it easy to call friends free via computer, send a short text message to a mobile device, share photos or post content to a personal Web log.
Despite the bevy of updates, Yahoo said it focused particularly on VoIP enhancements by placing a “click to call” button front and center, by adding voicemail features and by optimizing voice connections to and from those with broadband and those with dial-up.

Thought:
Now MSN, ICQ, and Yahoo! instant messengers are support video and voice chat. Which one is your favourite?
Personally, I have not talk over the Net yet, I don’t have mic and I seldom talk(weird?). Oh, but I enjoy girls video chat with me!
