Do you use both Yahoo! Messenger and MSN Live Messenger for Mac? How do video and voice chat on MSN Messenger and YM on a Mac OS X computer? Trillian is a brilliant idea, it is an integrated communications client for YM, MSN, ICQ, and AOL that enables you to communicate with contacts seamlessly. Makes it easy to take advantage of the full power of real-time communications between various IM at the same time.

However, back then the client was only available in Windows version, and to make things worst, the MSN and YM software developed for Mac OS X is pretty much a striped down version with basic features.

It may be known as Web Yahoo Messenger but do remember that you are able to chat with your friends who are on MSN Live. I guess it is a matter of time before MSN Live introduce a Web version of MSN Messenger.
