Communication has always been an important aspect of life. Instant-messaging systems have been extremely popular since their first debut. Skype and Yahoo! Messenger are two of the leaders in this industry, providing
numerous features for their users.
Since August 2003, when Skype first released its beta version of the program, Skype has gained over 137 million members. The Yahoo! Messenger service is available to anyone holding a Yahoo! ID, providing services such as My Yahoo!, Yahoo! Mail, Yahoo! Answers, Yahoo! 360°, and much more. There are around 22 million users of only the Messenger service. Both services are constantly used by its members and are highly popular.
I have used many instant-messaging systems. Skype and Yahoo! Messenger are my absolute favorites. Both offer numerous engaging and innovative features.
Chat Engine Comparison
Skype allows the user to chat using its simplistic chat engine. It is extremely easy to navigate through and is lightning fast. Skype Chat also allows you to chat with more than one person in the same chat window. For instance, if you and your colleagues were separated and wanted to communicate together, everyone could sign into Skype and participate in the group chat. The group chat creator can additionally send invites to certain members to include them in the chat.
Yahoo! Messenger's chat engine is more bulky and slower. However, the Yahoo! Chat engine contains many more features. IMVironments, chatting backgrounds, are exceptionally fun to experiment with. Additionally, "Audibles," animated emoticons that talk, make your chatting experience tremendously entertaining. When you are chatting, you can play games with your friend and share photos. However, Yahoo! Messenger does not support group chat.
