  Yahoo scraps enterprise IM
Time: 00:39 EST/05:39 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Robert Stein

Instant messaging has made its way into companies as well. Some 85 percent of all enterprises in North America use a form of IM in their networks, according to a survey by research firm The Radicati Group. This penetration was mainly spurred by employees downloading Yahoo, AOL or MSN software to keep in touch with personal and professional contacts. However, IM flourished in businesses without the oversight of corporate information technology departments, leaving many system administrators concerned about IM's safety against viruses. Some industries regulated by the federal government, such as the financial services and health care industries, are concerned that the use of IM in their offices might violate compliance or privacy laws.

They still have it, it's just under a different business unit of Yahoo!. So there is no point in them looking for an alternative.

Dee - this would have been a closer match to LiveMeeting.

#5 That was because too many people were using it for spam and illegal activities (mostly child porn and molesting kids).
