Yahoo!'s cold shoulder to Mac on chat
As I chatted in my normal ichat chatroom with other fellow macintosh chatters recently, I came upon some new people I hadn't met before.
"Apparently Yahoo! Chat stopped using java so we cant chat anymore there and have moved here."
Other than meeting some cool new friends who didnt know AIM had other macintosh chat rooms without bots, ads, and the such, I realized just how much Yahoo! is missing out on. They are turning a cold shoulder to all the Macintosh market by catering only to PC platfrom users. It's obviouse just how MUCH Yahoo! is ignoring macintosh by their blatent void of help for the macintosh Messenger chatters who already have better options via ichat which uses AOL instant messenger. This is also a growing problem in their games and other areas and services.
We are now seeing a trend as more and more people turn to other forms to chat, games, and overall information other than yahoo!.
Yahoo! Chat has already turned off a majority of decent classy people with the over abundance of bots, troll spammers, and pornography ads. Some people have claimed to have over 20,000 members on their banned list just to be able to talk in the chatrooms.
Some now consider this a relief as they convert over to more tollerable forms of chatting, and the question lies here- will Yahoo! catch on in time or will the bad taste of Yahoo! leave Mac users booing?
