Which is better Skype or Yahoo Messenger?

We are aware that Skype and Yahoo Messenger are very common to us as we are using these when we are in the office and/or we contact someone either friends or relatives. Also, both have recent releases of new versions and have offering text chat, voice and video communication for free.

What do you prefer?

I have started to use YM for a long time and this has been pretty reliable for me, and I have started to use Skype when I started to have work. What I have noticed when I have used the 2 messengers are YM is good to use for chatting, and the audio is OK, but sometimes it sounds like it skips or the audio stops for a second or two, making the person's speech sound like it does not make sense. While Skype has a good audio and video quality

Both Skype and Yahoo Messenger are good for me, but in order to get the quality we want from them we have to make sure that we have better internet connection.

How Do I Get Yahoo Messenger

Although there are a lot of instant messengers out there, possibilities are still limited, since it all comes down to just a few big names such as Microsoft (and its MSN Messenger), Yahoo!, Skype and a few others. Yahoo!, for instance, has one of the most popular instant messaging applications out there, with millions of people now using Yahoo! Messenger in every corner of the world.

Basically, Yahoo! Messenger is a software solution that allows users to send and receive messages via an Internet connection, but the application has evolved so much lately that it is now a lot more than that. It comes with built-in photo sharing, file transfer capability, video calling support, online gaming, skins and many others.
