Yahoo! Mail: Now with (web) messenger
If you have email account with yahoo, then you have probably been greeted with a similar window like below. It says: “Now you can chat inside Yahoo! Mail”. Finally!
I was expecting this to happen long time ago, since Yahoo Mail introduced new improved (optional) version. I hardly login to my yahoo messenger, most of the time I login when my friends ask me to come online. Or if I have a messenger conference with some clients. Otherwise my yahoo messenger just stays idle. Since I check my mail everyday, this new feature will allow me to keep in touch with my friends and people in my contact list more frequently (without logging into messenger).
You can set your status to any status and also see who are online from your contact list (address book). It shows the the number, upon clicking it will show the details of the contacts.
This is how the web chat looks inside the yahoo mail.

Looks cool but I’m not really a fan of Yahoo mail although I do use the YM. I have both YM and MSN so I use the service from meebo.com. It’s web based and pretty light so I kinda like it.
