Yahoo Messenger?

Can anyone help an old old computer illiterate woman?

Does anyone do Yahoo Messenger in Ireland?

Or is it just something which 'that lot over there' are into?

Am curious - it's such a big thing in the U.K. - but I haven't heard much about it here.

I only know one person who uses Yahoo messenger. I am sure other people here probably use it.

Most of my friends use MSN, here is a link to download it:

I use it, and I'd have quite a few friends who use it too, I prefer it cause of the stealth settings and stuff, you don't have to let everyone know you're online!!

I think you can do that with most clients now.

I don't even know a single person that uses Yahoo here.

They all use MSN because it already comes pre-installed with Windows and a lot of my friends aren't the type that like to try new software (such a firefox :mad: )

We all use it in work (80ish people) since everyone in HQ in the US use it (800ish people). Most of my mates who use IM use MSN. I get around having to use two clients by using Trillian which is a client that allows you to login to both networks.

In general, IM is a great tool - much better than email if you want to have dialog that's more like a conversation, which email is useless for. If you're beginning to use it just remember to pause between sentences to ensure you both stay on the same subject. Otherwise things can get a little confusing.

good luck with it !
