The new Yahoo Messenger Beta is now available, with better support for voice chat, making it a serious competitor to Skype. It also integrates well with Yahoo 360. Other cool features:

  • it now acts as an answering machine / voice mail: if you make a call and the person is not there, you can leave a voice message.
  • drag and drop pictures into your IM window to share them.

Go here for a full list of features and grab your copy.

[update]: I have just tried the voice chat and I don’t think it’s that good. Skype is still much much better. But Yahoo beta is, well, still in beta, so maybe we can expect some improvements? Let’s see…
