IM Interoperability is HERE

That's right, the wait is finally over for Yahoo!7 & Windows Live Messenger (WLM) have finally joined forces to combine Instant Messenging from one client to other and vice-versa.

You can add friends, see when they are online and send instant messages from either Yahoo!7 or WLM to either network. No longer do you need to use both client's to stay in contact. So if you're an avid user of WLM, it's now time to chat with friends on Yahoo. Perhaps you prefer the great features of Yahoo!7 while chatting to WLM friends.

This is major news for the IM market and the first of it's kind to combine two networks together to work as one. As Yahoo previously stated, they are work hand-in-hand with WLM to make this happen. At the moment WLM & Yahoo!7 is limited to text IM's with the promise that soon voice will be available, along all the regular feature of each client.

Try out the interoperability for yourself and let us know your comments and thoughts! Which chat client will you use to talk with both Yahoo and WLM friends?
