All basically dead services in favor of new social media like facebook. I looked up MSN but I guess their chat ended a long time ago, and same with AIM. Like aol back in the day, you get your name, you talk in the room. Yeah the rooms kind of sucked with bots, but it was the last holdout of the old school drop in and talk immediately rooms. I’ve heard of alternatives, and I’ve tried a dozen, but there is no equivalent. I don’t think I’ve had a single private message since then. Ever since they got rid of the chat rooms a couple weeks ago, it’s turned into a total ghost town. I still sign into my messenger first thing in the morning when I wake up out of habit, but nobody is ever around anymore. its really so sad that we’re gonna lose an internet hero so many of the users now may fall into other messengers’ business traps.don’t know if there any free messenger like yahoo would rescue us like a hero. On the otherhand, I feel so free and independent in yahoo chatrooms and feel good that everybody is equal to each other and no restrictions are there but can have own privacy too by setting the preferences.and I never saw any other messenger which can run well in low speeded internet connections,not skype not msn but yahoo does.I used yahoo chat rooms well with just 3kbps speed,can you imagine ? I wasn’t able to do so with any other chatrooms. the free ids are in trouble, can’t view cams more than 5/10 sec(I forgot) and most of the times get behave from upgraded users like rich and poor people. if you talk about paltalk, well I used that for few years and I felt like a slave in chat rooms where we have to stay under the orders of the chat room owners or admins and have to get bounced from room whenever they wish (few times that happened just cause of I was not talking in the room cause I was away.).and in there all users are not on same row as paltalk took it as a business so if you spend money to upgrade then you can have more features. Thanks for making it easier.Īlthough yahoo is suffering of bots and spammers but theres nothing near of the yahoo chatroom popularity. Seriously Yahoo! if you wanted to get some attention why not give away some Hostess cakes? That might have brought joy to people…now you’re just a big old cry baby in my eyes and maybe at the end of the day…I won’t miss you. Just like I didn’t go stand in line for a bunch of Ding-Dongs, Ho hos and Twinkies…I’m not giving into the hype of Yahoo! The funny thing is if I go to the rooms and all they are talking about is how the rooms are going to be disappearing, I might just stop going to them all together as to prevent any serious (cough) impact to my life (sigh). When it happens, if it happens…you’ll be sad you’ll maybe even have to change how you talk to, meet up with and hang out with people for about 24 hours…until someone comes along and in the heat of the newly created love for Yahoo! “saves” the marketshare and reinvents the rooms. If they threaten to take away the ONE feature that people actually use, then they’ll feel loved when those people scream out SAVE MY YAHOO! Bleh. ![]() Just like how no one was talking about Hostess, people aren’t thinking about Yahoo! as a search engine when compared to other companies and they just want some attention. ![]() That weekend people spent tons of money on Twinkies when the ones on the shelf STILL hadn’t gone bad. ![]() People weren’t thinking about Hostess until someone said it was going away. The simple fact is that this is like the Hostess scare.
