Keeping in view the great numerology day 9-9-09 (today), the Yahoo! messenger development team has highlighted 9 improvements in the all new Yahoo messenger 10 Beta. Here they are:

9) Much improved 1:1 video calling

8 ) A new alternative view called “Y! Updates” that shows you what your friends a%tagsre up to on Yahoo! and on other social websites

7) Choose from 16 languages at sign-in or under Messenger > Preferences > Language

6) A new way to sort your contacts – by availability or by recent activity

5) A new Insider with more news, Yahoo! Mail and weather [OK, technically 9.0 has this too but 10 had it first!]

4) When you IM a friend about their latest update in the Y! Updates view, the update shows inline in the IM window so you can both refer to it

3) More controls for Yahoo! Updates. Decide what types of updates you want to see and from whom. Go to Messenger > Preferences > Yahoo! Updates

2) Updated icons in the IM window

1) Because it’s new! %tags

Here’s the demo video which explains everything in detail:
