New Yahoo! Messenger for Macintosh: Let the Users Decide!

ym_mac.jpg

There is a poll currently being conducted by the Yahoo! for Macintosh development team. Since YM for OS X has very long graduation dates between versions, the team is letting the users decide whether it deserves to be updated now or later.

I am honestly apathetic to whatever verdict they come up with as the new version of the Macintosh OS is set to be released come October. The survey results favor releasing the new version now as not a lot of people are using OS 10.3.

It would be nice to have Yahoo Messenger on MacOS X environment specially if you have lots of friends using the said messenger. But If the PIDGIN IM (http://www.pidgin.im/) has a MacOS version I would rather use that because it connects it is a multi-protocol Instant Messaging client that allows you to use all of your IM accounts at once.

Pidgin can work with:

* AIM
* Bonjour
* Gadu-Gadu
* Google Talk
* Groupwise
* ICQ

* IRC
* MSN
* MySpaceIM
* QQ
* SILC

* SIMPLE
* Sametime
* XMPP
* Yahoo!
* Zephyr
The best of all its free. 😀
