Hi Friends

Yahoo has released Messenger 8 beta with additional plugins for VOIP (voice)
http://news.digitaltrends.com/article10739.html

Now i am not sure if this happened for all (coz someone once told me they could do it), but i was never able to type in Telugu unicode directly into the messenger window using Akshamarala software. The text used to get converted to '???' marks. If we typed unicode outside & pasted, then it was fine..but that was not convenient for chatting.

I just now downloaded and tried this new beta version, and was happy to see that now I am able to directly type in Telugu. An example:


The image “http://static.flickr.com/71/171842963_855e057b04_o.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

This finally solves the problem of not being able to chat using Telugu script on a very popular instant messaging tool.  It was already possible in MSN, Google Talk.

So to start chatting in your own mother tongue, just a few simple steps to be followed:

1. Get the latest Y! Messenger from here
http://messenger.yahoo.com

2. Install Aksharamala software...it is a free unicode software for windows (http://www.bhaavana.net/Rangavalli/aksharamala.html )
from here
http://www.aksharamala.com
(at the time of typing this link was down...hope it should be up soon)

3. Now when needed just enable it, and start chatting in Telugu with ur friends!

If this already worked for someone with previous Y! Messenger versions, thats good. Since i discovered it just now, I would like to spread the message, and encourage everyone to try this out...it is cool!
And I hope the Aksharamala site link goes up soon.

- Kiran

For me it is still showing ????? even in the messenger window. I am
not using aksharamala but, I am using inbuilt telugu keyboard layout
in XP. Anyone got any hints to correct this?

హలో,
నేను అక్షరమాల వాడుతున్నాను. నాకు యాహూ 8 లో తెలుగులో టైప్ చెయ్యడం కుదురుతోంది.

మీరు విండోస్ లో యాహూ మెసెంజర్ 8.0 ఒకసారి వాడిచూస్తే మేమంతా ఎందుకు
వాడుతున్నామో తెలుస్తుంది :). e-messenger.net వాడడం అంటే మీ పాస్వర్డ్
మూడవ వ్యక్తికి(third party) చెప్పడంలాంటిదే. అలా వేరే సైటులో పాస్వర్డ్
ఇవ్వడం చాలా మందికి ఇష్టం ఉండదు పైగా మంచి పద్దతి కాదుకూడా(తప్పనిసరి
పరిస్థితులలో ఏమీచేయలేమనుకోండి).

Just want to know why do you feel that it is safer than other such
providers? Once it is not from yahoo anyother provider is same.
Moreover, this site is not even supporting https protocol, which means
that some one in the network can also steal your password.

This eliminates the possibility of stealing the data in the network to
some extent, but still the admin of meebo.com can know your password
if he wants to do so. I think we should not trust third party sites.

yes i agree we should not trust third party sites, but meebo is a kind
of open office policy and i am closely following since its launch. the
possiblity of knowing our password by meebo is the same as by yahoo if
it intends. we can not trust any site if we go by this
