Yahoo Messenger 5.0 review
Reviews Simply apply a skin to change Yahoo's background image, toolbar and status icons (ICQ and Trillian can also do this). The Yahoo Fighter IMVironment, for instance, lets you play an animated version of rock-paper-scissors.

Yahoo Calendar review
Reviews Accessing the free Yahoo Calendar is as simple as signing in to your Yahoo account from any Web browser on any PC; just visit calendar.yahoo.com. You can also access the calendar from within Yahoo Mail and Yahoo Messenger.

Yahoo Desktop Search (beta) review
Reviews Yahoo Desktop Search is based on X1 Search, a speedy desktop file finder that sells for about $75 (~£42) and is geared for the enterprise market. Fortunately for home and small-business users, Yahoo gives its version away free.

Search and enjoy: 7 search toolbars reviewed review
Reviews If you're still going to the Google or Yahoo home page to do Web searches, you're missing half the fun -- and you're unnecessarily exerting your fingers. Finally, we picked a winner: Yahoo. We tested seven toolbars from the biggest search engines...

MSN Desktop Search review
Reviews Like Yahoo Desktop Search, MSN Desktop Search also adds a query toolbar to Outlook and Outlook Express. Like Copernic, Yahoo and others, MSN uses 'word wheeling' technology that immediately begins displaying matches as you type.

MSN Search Toolbar with Windows Desktop Search review
Reviews And as does Yahoo Desktop Search, MSN Desktop Search also adds a query toolbar to Outlook and Outlook Express. Like Copernic, Yahoo, and others, MSN uses 'word wheeling' technology that immediately begins displaying matches as you type.

MSN Messenger 6 Public Beta review
Reviews Messenger 6's interface is much richer than version 5's and makes Yahoo Messenger and AIM seem thin and wimpy by comparison. Yahoo Messenger also lets you view other Webcams, but it's not as smooth or well integrated as in Messenger.

Trillian Pro 2.012 review
Reviews Once set up, the Trillian Pro 2.012 client lists all of your online contacts alphabetically in a single console, with a coloured dot next to their names indicating which service they belong to: orange for AIM, green for ICQ, grey for IRC, blue for...

Top instant messengers compared review
Reviews Trillian breaks the IM monopolies by supporting all four major clients: AIM, ICQ, MSN and Yahoo, aggregating your accounts on each into one interface. Yahoo Messenger 6.0 It's the only product of its kind, and it works with AIM, ICQ, MSN and Yahoo.

MSN Toolbar review
Reviews However, the MSN Search engine doesn't yet match that of Google or Yahoo. MSN Toolbar had a very rough time in our on-the-Web search test, scoring dead last in the breadth department (behind Yahoo, AltaVista, Google, Ask Jeeves, A9 and HotBot, in...

Windows Live Messenger beta review
Reviews As instant-messaging providers compete to give users a complete communications hub, Windows Live Messenger matches the features of its main rival, Yahoo Messenger with Voice. One major omission, though, is the ability to receive inbound calls from...

Google Toolbar review
Reviews You can also search for stock quotes -- Google sends you to Yahoo Finance for that -- and dictionary entries through Dictionary.com, but there's no weather search. One feature we'd like to see in future versions of Google Toolbar is the ability to...

Google Talk: a first look review
Reviews At the moment, Google Talk might be handy for Gmail users, but other IM services with VoIP -- especially Yahoo Messenger with Voice and Skype -- have a lot more to offer. It lacks many of the bells and whistles of other instant messengers...

Google Home review
Reviews We found this setup more intuitive than even that of the no-brainer rival My Yahoo. Among the home pages we tested, Google Home and My Yahoo loaded the most quickly, while Windows Live.com suffered the longest delays.

Eyeball Chat 2.0 review
Reviews Although this chat program lets you chat with AIM, MSN and Yahoo users, we're not all that impressed: Odigo handles AIM, ICQ and Yahoo, and Trillian does those three plus MSN. The display breaks down a list of your buddies according to the chat...

JabberIM 1.10.0.6 review
Reviews You won't mistake JabberIM for a top-of-the-line client such as Yahoo Messenger. We easily configured JabberIM to connect to MSN Messenger and Yahoo Messenger servers, but, in our tests, we couldn't connect to AIM or ICQ.

Del.icio.us review
Reviews Del.icio.us hasn't changed much since Yahoo bought it in 2005, nor has it merged with My Yahoo or integrated with a host of other Yahoo services. A Yahoo Del.icio.us user group puts you in touch with peers.

Google Gadgets: more widgets for Web sites review
Reviews I imagine it's just a matter of time until Yahoo figures out how to make its excellent Yahoo Widgets gizmos insertable into Web pages. We're entering an era of widgets. People have taken to building Web pages by piecing together chunks of...

SuSE Linux Desktop review
Reviews To install the latest version of Gaim was a matter of selecting it from a list; everything downloaded and installed in a few seconds, and there were no lingering dependency glitches, as there had been with Yahoo's client.
