Being able to use Yahoo Messenger to chat with Windows Live Messenger contacts was one of the grooviest features, in my opinion. Launched in 2006, the ability to chat with Live Messenger users will end December 14, 2012 according to a post on the Yahoo Messenger blog. Contacts will still appear, but you won’t be able to chat with them any longer. The good news is that Skype now offers Windows Live Messenger interoperability and Facebook chat too....
