I think seun should consider WhatsApp number instead of YIM

Nairaland does not encourage publishing of phone numbers. It's just a phase. When Nairaland started, Hi5 would have been included but YIM was indeed the foundation for all the IM services we have today. From the pinging to the emoticon and all that.

I used to look forward to logging in and seeing messages that had been dropped by contacts.

Corruption as in?

brodalokie:

Yes they just give out knowledge and information freely. I think corruption is the reason for shutting down.

Yahoo messenger was too ahead of its time. Everything that exist in today's messaging apps existed in yahoo messenger. Chatrooms, voice call, video call, emoticons, file sharing, buzz, et al .

It was such fun chatting with people from Nigeria and around the world. It amazed me how easy it was for girls I met yahoo messenger to agree to travel halfway across the country to visit me.

In those days the girls were not so greedy. They just wanted the adventure. In 2005, one of them who came to Port Harcourt from Aba and spent two nights with me called back and thanked me for taking care of her even though I only gave her just 2,000 naira when she was leaving.

I see no reason why they can not just re-brand it. Yahoo messenger to me still better than the like of whatsapp. With yahoo messenger, you get to interact with foreigners especially through their games platforms.

Yes. It would be a good idea to introduce chat rooms like we had in YIM.

What does it have to do with me? This is about Yahoo messenger, not me. What I am only saying is that it's owners or operators have a trillion dollars choice. You mentioned the demise of Babylon and I show you were Babylon is at now, living and kicking. Open your eyes

TechZiga:
Oath Inc today announced that it is shutting down the once popular Yahoo Messenger come July 17th 2018. The service was once a very popular instant messaging apps back in the days, before the coming of WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook, Twitter and many others. The company says while it may be shutting the service down, your Yahoo ID remains intact for other services like Mail and fantasy sports.

Before now, Oath had also shut down AIM’s AOL Instant messenger back in December last year. Although the company gave no reason for the action, but it can be far from the dominance pose by the likes of WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and other chat service.

The company has been testing its new chat service call Squirrel for months. It is believed that this may be used to replace Yahoo messenger.

Skype is as old as Yahoo messenger. Go and find out

I must confess that yim had everything you could ever think of. I enjoyed the ability to be able to change chat environment. I was found of using snow flakes, autumn, friend forever and love. Very interesting. Also the unique icons and sounds
