Yahoo! has released the Web based version of its instant messaging service for selective countries such as United Stated, India, Malaysia and Brazil.

Yahoo! Messenger for Web beta supports the following features:

-All major browsers supported: Opera, IE7, Safari, Netscape and Mozilla Firefox
-Emoticon picker
-Support signing in invisible mode
-Online Chat message history
