  • I use to be a big Yahoo Messenger user, but a long time ago while I managed a lot of Yahoo! Clubs during my college days, someone hacked me while I was talking with my best friend and got into trying to change the status of my Clubs (3 of them were in the top 10 largest on Yahoo, which a total of 105,000 members between them.)

    I waited a long time and finally a few years ago, I took up using Skype. It has worked best for me and I don’t get spammed as much as I did as with Yahoo! Messenger.

  • Yahoo messenger has always remained my favorite since the time i started working on the Internet. I was so used to it that i never tried other messengers except Gtalk as it was necessary for my gmail account. Thanks for listing the best IM among many.
