Yahoo Messenger Share + Collaborate Plugins
Yahoo Messenger 8 allows you to add all manner of plugins. Here are a few focusing on sharing, collaborating, and conferencing.
Untye Desktop Sharing
Unyte's reasonably good destop sharing add-on for Skype is now available as a plugin, Unyte Lyte, in for Yahoo Messenger. Unfortunately, it failed during installation, and after two tries, I'm not going to bother again.
Video Sharing
Found a video on YouTube or Google Video? Share it
with a Yahoo Messenger contact in the IM window. Is the irony lost on
you? Google, Yahoo's search engine competitor, owns both Google Video
and YouTube.
WebEx Co-Browse
The WebEx Co-Browse
plugin lets jointly browse the Internet with someone. This is great for
shopping or booking travel. Pretty cool in concept. WebEx, I believe,
is the company behind the desktop sharing feature in in the recent AIM Pro IM.
ConfreeCall
Need
to combine conference calls via a regular telephone as well as the
Yahoo Messenger IM? try ConfreeCall. A bit of a tongue twister, but if
it gets the job done, great. Any long distance charges to the
conference bridge number are borne by the caller.
