It is a good, fully-featured little messaging app – but it feels deeply lacking in terms of users. At least within the people I know.a good, fully-featured little messaging appBrilliantly bygoneStarting up Yahoo! Messenger, and entering my old Yahoo! login credentials, I was told that my account had been locked.

But, I am guessing, if you are in this environment you probably know all this already. if you are in this environment you probably know all this alreadyUnfortunately, for me it is an empty wasteland. A reminder of an old internet life that I don’t need to resurrect because I have now found my own alternatives. it is an empty wasteland
