Yahoo! Messenger for the Web

Catching up to Google’s and Microsoft’s browser-based Ajax chat offerings, Yahoo just released a browser-based Flash version of Yahoo! Messenger at webmessenger.yahoo.com. Avatars, emoticons, history, and MSN Messenger integration available at launch; VoIP to follow. As always, Microsoft is the loser in this area: both Yahoo’s and Google’s Web IM offerings are snappier than theirs.

On a country-specific note, this’ll be a hit here in the Philippines. The vast majority of online Filipinos use Yahoo! Messenger, and either go to dinky Internet rental shops or sulk behind medieval corporate firewalls.

    Lolz… thanks! I should’ve said something else :p hahaha…

    Anywayz, nice Yahoo! put up an AJAX version… I’m tired of the java based versions… especially when your workstation’s locked like in iCafes and it doesn’t have Java.
