From Yahoo! Messenger to Windows Live Messenger: The gap is filled

So it’s done ― unofficially. Yahoo! messenger and Windows Live messenger are discretely talking to each other. The scoop has been posted on a forum of the multi-protocol instant messenger Trillian. And since then, it’s a massive rush as we were assisting at the Berlin Wall historical fall. So keep retrying if you can’t land on the official download site ― it’s got Digged too.

But don’t fade out, the Yahoo! mighty messenger concerns only Apple Mac users, although strangely that means Apple IM users could talk to Windows PC IM users.

This week, Yahoo! released the new version of its instant messenger (without voice). The front page of the download site clearly mentioned that a bridge between Yahoo messenger and Windows Live messenger is expected to come. We now know it’s possible.
