Yahoo Messenger Does Voice Messaging

Daily Wireless says Yahoo IM users can now make telephone calls and search the Internet via its instant messaging system instead of relying only on Web browsers or e-mail, the company said on Monday. Guess, that DialPad acquisition was not for nothing. Yahoo, atleast has realized how critical its IM software is, and how it can leverage it to out hustle others. Yahoo is No. 2 behind AIM, according to ComScore Media Metrix data. Not such good news for Skype?
