Yahoo! was published Yahoo Messenger 8 beta last month and in a short time its out of beta now.
Yahoo! announced on yesterday the general availability of its latest chat application, which enables users to do a lot more than just chat.
The new Yahoo! Instant Messenger with Voice, which offers telephony functions, features more than 180 plug-ins created by developers from inside and outside Yahoo!.
For example, a plug-in called Yahoo! Avatar Space lets people interact with their avatars, change the avatars mood and customize the space with different decors and images from Yahoo! Image Search.
A Yahoo! Movie Trailer plug-in lets people scroll through current movie trailers and watch them within the plug-in or in full-screen while IMing with a friend. Another plug-in, Yahoo! Finance, lets people track stock and recommend stocks to friends.
Other plug-ins include Pando, which allows fast file sharing; YEmote, which lets users access secret emoticons; Yahoo! Greetings eCard, which enables a user to send an e-card while chatting; and Eazibo, which lets people make flow charts and diagrams and share photos.
