How to Detect and Find Invisible Users on Yahoo! and MSN Messenger
How do detect invisible user in Yahoo Messenger? I find it annoying when a person comes online with the status “Invisible to Everyone” in both Yahoo and MSN Messenger, things are made worst when both parties are invisible.
The invisible feature is great, there are times such as exam weeks when we don’t want to be disturbed because we would like to do some research online or keep in touch with classmates, discussing the exam paper, or we’re coming online for a short period of time just to check our email, that’s the time when we don’t want anyone to bug us or we’re not in the mood to entertain them.

There are various web application that is able to reveal invisible Yahoo Messenger user, XEEBER and Invisible scanner are the better ones in the market, its free!
As for MSN Messenger, there is only one tool available, the Show Invisible MSN Messenger Status detector, it reveals, finds, and detects you and your contact lists MSN information and inform you all you want to know about your contacts. For example which person deleted or blocked you.

For those who are curious about which of his/her friends deleted or blocked them, do give the service a try but be cautious, I believe the tool is meant to be some sort of email harvesting application or another email hijacking tool created by spammers. Give it a try but remember to change your password as soon as you’re done with it.
Rule number one, never reveal your password to other company besides the original service provider.

Here is a cool little MSN Name Trick that allows you to have an invisible MSN Screen Name. This nickname trick should work for most versions of Messenger (ie MSN 6, 7.5, 8.0). Just follow these instructions:
- Open the Options window so you can change your MSN Name
- Hold down ALT on your keyboard and type in 0160 using the Numeric Keypad (usually on the right side of your keyboard)
- Click OK to save your new Invisible MSN Name!

Microsoft and Yahoo to Merge?

There is this hype and speculation around a rumored $50 billion merger between Microsoft and Yahoo, something which is unlikely to happen anytime soon largely because of Yahoo’s disinterest in the deal, simply imagine the overlapping of workforce and softwares, it would be chaotic. This speculation came about due to the successive acquisitions of DoubleClick by Google, something that left both Microsoft and Yahoo in the dust. Google is beating Yahoo and Microsoft in almost every field, even in a friendly Google vs Yahoo tennis competition.

Yahoo offers Web Instant Messaging

Yup, you are now able to log into your Yahoo IM with any web browser in any computer, sort of like the web ICQ. The service is tailored for use by travelers, workers whose employers block software downloads to company machines. Web Yahoo Messenger is available online at http://webmessenger.yahoo.com. 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.

Yahoo Alpha - customize your search engine

This is what I am talking about, a fully customize search engine for everyone. Yahoo seems to be moving the right path by introducing the Alpha search engine which is currently in beta mode. It is believed to be better in term of user friendliness.
Instead of just returning results in text form, it search for images and videos at the same time. There is also results form Wikipedia and others. There’s also a special module called “Sponsored Results” that displays text ads based on your search query.
Yahoo Aplha is currently in beta, I can’t wait for version 1.0 to be release. Finally Google has a new found enemy. Go ahead and give it a try!
