Advantages: Fast, good sound, good caming

Disadvantages: Crashes at times.

Along with MSN messenger, Yahoo messenger is messenger is also a must have for every computer with an internet connections. Yahoo introduced many new concepts in instant messaging. For example, yahoo messenger was probably the first messenger that would let talk to your contacts and stay offline at the same time. But now MSN has included this feature in their messenger as well.

Initially, when the average speed of the internet was low, yahoo was really popular for voice chat and video chat. It takes comparatively less time to connect. The voice quality is good. The video quality is also good but both these depend on your internet connection. If you have a broadband connection and a good web cam then yahoo turns on its "super cam" feature, delivering the best possible video quality.

Even though yahoo is faster and simpler, its messenger is loaded with plug-in, which can sometimes make it crash, as often happens in my case.
