    "Good Messenger, but AIM and MSN are better... much better."

    August 12, 2005  |   By Adachic

    Pros

    I like the interface and emoticons... that's pretty much it.

    Cons

    The reason I dislike this messenger so much is because after you install it, it puts so much other crap on your computer you have to either uninstall or leave alone-- such as the yahoo links in internet explorer, yahoo toolbar, yahoo extra tools... it's not worth it. If you really want to use yahoo, just download trillian and set up a yahoo name on that.
