Yahoo Messenger

I feel this is the appropriate forum to declare Yahoo! Messenger http://messenger.yahoo.com/ to be much much better than AIM.

Why you may ask? Well there are a number of reasons but let me just explain a few:

1. You say you like listening to music? Well it just so turns out that you can create a customized radio station. You rate artists, songs, albums, genres, to your liking and the station continuously learns your likes and dislikes. There are also standard stations you can tune in to.
2. Yahoo! Pool, eh? You can open up a game of Yahoo! Pool (or other games such as scrabble), and play in the same IM window. Not only that, but you can send taunts that will play (along with an animation) on your opponents computer.

Try it out and if you don't like it, I will allow you to uninstall it free of charge.

Escape the stranglehold of AOL,
