Yahoo Adds More Media to IM: "Internet media company Yahoo said on Tuesday it is adding media-playing features, large file transfers, new languages and other tools to its instant messaging service.
Helge: Large file transfer isn't a bad idea.
The move comes as a growing number of rivals -- from incumbents like AOL to social network sites like News Corp's MySpace -- boost their positions in the market for instant messaging services.
Helge: There are too many.
Yahoo Messenger 9.0 launched as a test version and has added features similar to ones seen on social networks or media-sharing sites, including extra room to post a picture or other image next to contact names and the ability to share video or photos within a message screen."
Helge: Have to go testing. I'll write more about Yahoo IM later.
