Microsoft Live Mesenger 8 BETA and Yahoo Messenger 8 with Voice BETA are now allowing users to
add contacts from each others' service. That means a user of MSN messenger or Windows Live
Messenger 8 BETA as it's called now can add, view status, send an instant message, include
emoticons and send nudges/buzzes to contacts who are using Yahoo Messenger. As of now, you
can't send or share files, view common backgrounds, winks and other more complex actions between
the two services. The same also applies to users of Yahoo Messenger with Voice 8 - they can ad...

Microsoft has released into limited BETA testing the upcoming replacement to the current free email
/ news client - Outlook Express 6. It's called Windows Live™ Mail Desktop Beta and is designed
to provide a seamless experience between offline email management and the new Live™ family of
services. Even though the upcoming Windows Vista has an existing email client built into the OS
called (what else?) Windows Mail , this client is designed to bring a user's email / contacts
from Hotmail or MSN / IE7 news feeds and even WebSearch all in to one UI. Here'...

Yahoo has kicked off a brand new service called Yahoo! Alerts . It enables users to create alerts
based on existing categories or from separate discrete RSS feeds and send them in a variety of ways.
- Alerts can be sent via email to a mailbox that has been registered with the user's Yahoo
account - The service can also be configured to send the alert via Yahoo! Messenger, so you get it
as a message as soon as you login to yahoo messnger. This is due to the fact that Yahoo Messenger
supports offline messaging. - You can arrange to have the alert sent as a text messa...

Well after seeing jedipi's post re: 30gigs.com I felt awed about how the name of the game
seems to be increasing mailbox storage. I just wish emai providers would improve their interface,
and offer better features like improved spam protection or something like customizable filters. I
just came across this service - MailNation.net What strikes you straight away is the immense
space that they're offering - 1 Terabyte . I'm reasonably certain that 98% of users
don't have this kind of space on their hard disk drives ! That's huge. There are ad...

Yahoo recently acquired and has developed the code behind Konfabulator. The new system is called
Yahoo! Widgets and is essentially a javasript engine that allows the user to run small apps.
What's different and cool about this is the sheer number of widgets (small applications which do
a wide range of things). Widgets are more usually placed on a user's desktop so they're
constantly in view. Some of the more popular widgets include jazzy looking clocks and calendars,
news and stock tickers, panels that show system resources and much much more. There are ...

I just found this link to an experiment that Forbes is doing with Yahoo! and another company. For
the next few weeks, we can write e-mails to ourselves that will be delivered to the e-mail
addresses we specify ... up to 20 years from now. It's actually pretty interesting, because
Forbes has explained that there is a "redundancy" system to keep things from going wrong between
now and the time that the e-mails are actually delivered. Basically, they're setting it up so
that three different services (Forbes, Yahoo and Codefix Consulting in New York) are respons...

Google has offer a special version of Gmail e-mail. it can be subscribed via mobile phone so that
user can quickly access to their e-mail. The mobile e-mail service is available to U.S. cellphone
users at http://m.gmail.com . You can check your gmail anytime anywhere iff your mobile phones

Great...isn't it? I think we can check gmail not only on cellphone, but also on PDA. But when I
tried to access http://m.gmail.com , Mozilla reports invalid tag in XML: XML Parsing ...

It appears that there is a good possibility that the Yahoo! chat rooms will be back online sometime
in the future but at what cost? Yahoo announced on Thursday that only users 18 or older will have
access to the chat rooms. In addition the “Teen” chat channel has been closed and the chats will
now be patrolled for sexually explicit content regarding minors . This comes after an agreement
with both Kansas and New York’s Attorney General Offices to control the content in Yahoo! chat rooms
. Getting the Yahoo! chats back will be a big step in getting Yahoo! back to ...

have you guy know that?? QUOTE Yahoo Inc. has acquired Konfabulator, the software maker who
created widgets -- mini applications which monitor weather, sports, news and more -- for the
Macintosh in 2003. Yahoo confirmed the purchase was finalized late last week for an undisclosed
price. A Yahoo spokesman confirmed to The Mac Observer early Monday it will continue to develop
widgets for the Mac platform. Source: http://www.macobserver.com/article/2005/07/25.2.shtml
Here is the widget Yahoo. http://widgets.yahoo.com/ I think this is good news. and I guest the...
