And since it so happens that Yahoo also owns Flickr, it made sense for them to harness Flickr's powerful photo management platform for its messaging product as well. Jeff Bonforte, Yahoo's Senior VP for communication products, told us that one of the most popular usecases for messaging is sharing photos. Like on WhatsApp, you can name each conversation group too - maybe you can have one for "drinking buddies" and one for "weekend warriors."Īnd it's not just about slinging text at each other either. Anyone in the group can add another chat buddy. It understands relationships between contacts - which are incidentally culled from your email address book instead of your phone's - so as soon as you add one person to the conversation, it'll guess the next participant (based on how often you talk to the same people) and so forth. To that end, the new Yahoo Messenger makes it super easy to add contacts to conversations. ![]() Key to the experience is that Yahoo has created the new Messenger with group messaging in mind.
