The new Version 8 of its India-specific Internet Messenger tool-IndiChat- launched by Yahoo, you can download what are being called “Audibles”: tiny colored facial icons, which can be attached to your instant messages. When clicked open by the recipient, they will speak a few seconds of dialogue. In International release of Yahoo’s new Messenger, the spoken lines range from flirtatious to slightly risqué: but in India the lines are more chaste, if corny and Bollywood-based.
The India Launch comes with free plug-ins in Hindi, Kannada or Tamil, with other languages promised. They all low the users to relay chat in these languages using a Standard English Keyboard-…thanks to a new International standard known as UTF-8 (Universal Transformation Format).
Yahoo has simultaneously made available its enhanced version of Yahoo Mail-the most used email client in India. New features include drag-and-drop email organization, the ability to view multiple mails at the same time and a Really Simple Syndication(RSS) reader that allows users to get news feeds and blogs pushed directly to their mails in real time.
The release is still being called a beta or trial version. The download sites for the new India-centered messenger tools and the beefed-up mail tool are:
