Yahoo Messenger 3.0 has been in beta for a while, a very long while. However, I don’t want to pick on that because the company seems to be putting genuine effort into enhancing the Mac version’s feature set.
First, we got a cocoa interface. Second, we got cross-platform voice chat. Now we’re getting the ability to add Microsoft Live Messenger buddies right to Yahoo Messenger’s buddy list.
I don’t know anybody that uses Microsoft Live Messenger, but that could change any day. Now, as I was saying, I just hope that they wrap up this version and start in on the next major version of Messenger. This is, as one commenter on the Yahoo Messenger blog notes, turning into a Google style perma-beta.
This is a biggie, well done Yahoo! Now if maybe they could build in GTalk and FBook chat... =))
