Yahoo introduced its Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 Beta, the next version of a popular IM software for Windows. This new version has a whole new look and feel, along with some great new features that make it well worth the upgrade.
In Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 Beta when you paste a YouTube video URL in chat window, your friends can watch the video clip inline without having to visit the YouTube Website.
You can easily share photos from your Flickr.com account, or save photos shared with you directly to Flickr.
Another useful feature - if you are going Offline, you can configure Yahoo! Messenger 9 to forward all the Offline IM message to a your mobile number as SMS text messages.
You can have your incoming Phone In or free PC calls forwarded to another number like your mobile, home or office phone, even if you’re signed out of Messenger (Phone Out account required). Plus there’s a new way to get voicemail. When someone leaves you a voicemail in Messenger, an email is sent to you with an MP3 of the voice message attached.
