Working Together: Yahoo! Messenger and Reuters Messaging

Yesterday, Reuters Messaging announced the release of version 6.0, which includes connectivity with Yahoo! Messenger.

Reuters Messaging is a popular instant messaging program among energy market professionals, allowing them to communicate instantly with their market contacts about trades, scheduling and logistics. This new interoperability between Yahoo! Messenger and Reuters Messaging enables users of either program to send text based messages, see online presence, and access conversation history between networks by signing into one service.

To add a friend who uses Reuters Messaging 6.0 to your Yahoo! Messenger contact list, click the “+” button on your Messenger window. Then enter your friend’s email address and choose the “LCS” network from the drop down menu (eventually “Reuters” will become an option in the network menu, but for now use LCS).

This latest interoperability is part of our overall effort to help Yahoo! users connect with more friends, family and co-workers around the world by partnering with the industry’s leading communication networks. The Yahoo! Messenger network currently interoperates with the Microsoft Windows Live Messenger, IBM Lotus Sametime, Microsoft Live Communication Server and Reuters Messaging networks.
