We all love Yahoo Messenger, it lets us connect to our friends, fans, relatives and enemies across the globe. From time to time Yahoo releases new versions of yahoo messenger, though they have taken a more than enough time for the much awaited Yahoo Messenger for Windows Vista. But the good news is that they have yet again come out with a new version with lots more features and enhancements.

What is new in Yahoo Messenger 9.0 beta?

The new version comes with whole new look and feel and a hell lot of features which make it worth the upgrade. The contact section has been revamped and now it looks cool with large avatar images besides the contact details. The contact view can always be switched back to the classic compact view.

All new Skins and Emoticons

They have incorporated many new skins and emoticons, that will be fun to use. The emoticons list has been extended, though the previous emoticons have been kept intact. The new emoticons have been suggested and created by users themselves through a contest organised by Yahoo earliar this year.

Flickr Images

You can easily import and save photos from/to your flickr account. Image management was never so easy in Yahoo Messenger. The user interface looks impressive too. Flickr integration makes sharing and saving of pictures easy, conveniet and loveable.

Inline Youtube Videos

So, the next time you paste a youtube link in an IM window, the link will be parsed to an inline video, provided you switch to the beta 9 version before you log into yahoo messenger again.

Enhanced Voice Call features

You can have your incoming Phone In or free PC calls forwarded to another number like your mobile, home or office phone, even if you’re signed out of Messenger. When someone leaves you a voicemail in Messenger, an email is sent to you with an MP3 of the voice message attached, it is a similar feature that Gtalk is providing from many days.
