Yahoo Inc., which needs no introduction, undoubtedly the leader of instant-messaging seems to have a desire to compete each and every step the search engine giant Google takes.
Till sometime ago, Google was known for its special GTalk service, which could be used even without downloading any messenger. Now, Yahoo! also comes up with something similar. This is a newer version of its instant messaging that works from inside the web browser rather than requiring to users to download a separate piece of software.
