Windows Live™ Messenger - talk to Yahoo! contacts
Posted on July 21, 2006 - Filed Under Uncategorized
I am happy that finally i can add my friends from MSN Messenger on my Yahoo list or vice versa. I knew about it from a notice MSN sent me and i thought why not give it a try. So what i did was, i added my yahoo account into my MSN Messenger just to see what happens.
First up, it depends on what messenger you are using. If you are using both MSN and Yahoo then you can do either way to activate this feature that enables you to add either accounts. For instance, me, i started off with my MSN messenger. So i had to go to this page to activate. Once you have read that page, click ‘try it’ which is on your top right of the page. When you have done that, it will prompt you to sign out and sign in again and voila ! , you can start adding your friends from Yahoo Messenger.
When you have added your friends from Yahoo, they will receive this pop up, in this case i received this after adding myself. So now, they will click on that link to activate their side and with that it will complete the process, making both sides able to chat. The link will indicate if they are using Yahoo! Messenger Beta, if not then they will have to download and install it first. If you are using then all you have to do next is log in thru that page to enable the feature. Once done, they will prompt you to sign out and sign in again, just like the MSN messenger.
It’s quite simple and fast. So wait no more and start adding more contacts 
What is needed:
Windows Live Messenger
Yahoo Messenger with Voice (Beta)
