Yahoo! Messenger for the Web

Does your corporate policy prevent you from using IMs like Yahoo! Messenger?

Does the corporate proxy server block the ports Yahoo! Messenger uses?

Well…here’s Yahoo! Messenger for the Web. The same Instant Messenger but it runs within your browser. Sounds cool!

I’ve been using it for a few days and its quite good. Infact, its almost the same as the regular IM client.

So, lets hope your proxy server doesn’t block access to this new URL now! ;-)
