Yahoo said it was launching a new version of its messenger service offering free computer-to-computer calling worldwide, photo sharing and other tools.
The Internet giant said it was launching a test or beta version of the new messenger, which it said would provide an “all-encompassing, integrated communications experience.’
For yahoo, customers need an Internet connection and a headset or a microphone and speakers.
“Additionally, for the first time, voice-mail messages can be left for friends who are away from their desks or offline, and can be easily retrieved, “Yahoo said.
“Talking to your computer no longer means you are crazy, it means you are smart, because you are taking advantage of innovative technology and a unique combination of features that only Yahoo Messenger offers,” said Brad Garlinghouse, vice president of Yahoo’s communications unit.
