If there were such a survey comparing both Yahoo and MSN instant messengers, then Yahoo would be the winner for me. There are several reasons for this. The ultimate reason is that Yahoo allows you to not only go invisible to the people that you don’t want to talk to but it also allows you to appear online to a selected few. I love the fact that you can leave messages for people if they are not online or read offline messages from those who send it to you. Their voice messenger is also exceptional and that too allows people to leave messages. MSN on the other hand does not allow an offline message type service at all. Its either you’re online and get the message, or offline and miss it or settle for an email. Finally what really pisses me off with MSN is the fact that the only way you can talk to someone is to appear “online” which totally sucks! MSN you’re the loser in this one.
