Wih Messenger Revamp, Yahoo Joins the 'Unsend' Trend (thestack.com)

Posted by timothy on from the recalling-the-bandwagon dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Yahoo has announced a new version of its almost-mothballed Messenger app, which, in addition to new integration with Flickr and Tumblr images, now permits users to 'unsend' messages at any time, a facility which Viber added last week. The ability to erase sent communication has been a dream of business and personal users for many years, and if messaging eclipses email, it seems likely to become a reality.

    I swoon over the innovation here, and hereby retract my previous assertions Yahoo is growing irrelevant and pointless.

    Adding a feature to a product which TFS calls "almost-mothballed", that's sure to save the company!!

    My nipples crinkle in admiration.

    Sure, go ahead and unsend all you want! I always find it hilarious when I get email recall messages that my client ignores; seeing the same thing in a real time chat should prove a real hoot!
