Is Yahoo Inc going the Google way ? Probably Yes.
Yahoo plans to embed instant messaging tools into its Yahoo Mail program, enabling users to have live chats in the web-based e-mail platform without downloading any instant messaging software just like Google mail.
With the new tools, users will be able to see if their contacts are logged onto Yahoo Mail and instantly chat with them with a click of the mouse. So if someone comes online while you are e-mailing them, it says they are there and available to chat. Similar functionality is being currently provide by Google.
Atleast now Yahoo is trying to be people-centric... good.
