Yahoo has introduced a new version of its popular Yahoo Messenger instant messaging service that eliminates the need to download and install software. Still in the beta phase, the new “Yahoo Messenger for the Web” is browser-based. That means Yahoo Messenger users can log in to chat on any computer or other device with Web access, including PCs at companies that forbid software downloads. The new application is “the first brand-new Messenger in over six years,” noted Jeff Bonforte, vice president of product development for Yahoo Messenger, in his blog.
