Yahoo Messenger is a program that allows you to send short messages to someone else and chat with your friends while they are online. You will choose buddies for your list, and you can chat together when both of you are online. If you have used Yahoo Messenger in the past and have an old contact list, there are a few tips that you can try to retrieve this old list when you log onto a new account.
