VoIP In Yahoo Messenger Soon

Thursday 19 May 2005 @ 7:41 pm

Yahoo late Tuesday will introduce a test version of its instant-messaging software that utilizes VoIP.

Yahoo Messenger, has an estimated 65 million users worldwide, will offer a free update during the software’s test phase. In addition to letting people send standard instant text messages, the new version is designed to make it easy to call friends free via computer, send a short text message to a mobile device, share photos and post content to a personal Web log.

Quoted:
“E-mail was the killer application from the mid to late ’90s, then instant chat came second, now VoIP is opening up the third chapter,” Frazier Miller, director of Yahoo Messenger, said in an interview.

This is still a good news, though we can already use Skype for VoIP at the moment. Anyway, as long as the competition is still going on, there will be more features to be integrated in, hopefully. :)
