Google on Monday in the United States was set to launch Gmail Chat, which will let users send instant messages with one click from their e-mail account, see when contacts are online and save the chat history like an e-mail message.
Yahoo is set to release late Wednesday a new Web-based version of its instant-messaging application that lets people use Yahoo Messenger on any browser and any Internet-connected computer rather than having to download it to a hard drive.
The joint venture in Australia between Microsoft and Publishing and Broadcasting Ltd, ninemsn, said today it had publicly launched Windows Live Messenger, a next-generation instant messaging program that automatically updates contact information and lets people share files by simply dragging and dropping them onto a contact list.
Google is making its Google Talk instant-messaging application available for Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch, however these new applications come in light of new security scares.
Despite earlier denials, Google has launched into the chat market with an instant messaging (IM) application for Windows.
Yahoo continues to struggle behind Google in the US but in Australia, it's a slightly different story -- NineMSN, the partnership between Kerry Packer's PBL and Microsoft, remains a major stumbling block for the online giant.
Google has repackaged and enhanced its business-oriented software offerings into a paid-subscription suite known as Google Apps Premier Edition.
With an interface that lacks ads but is also short on features, this early Google Talk beta serves Gmail users who want to chat via text or voice.
