Yahoo just launched a highly lauded iPhone Instant Messaging application, this is another positive sign as Yahoo attempts to turn around what used to be one of the leading tech companies in Silicon Valley. Yahoo took a series of wrong turns in the early 2000’s which lead them down the wrong path at the same time that Google soared. Now they are a distant second in search and looking for a magic bullet.

Their iPhone app is no magic bullet but Carol Bartz and her new team have begun to slowly move Yahoo in the right direction.

Yahoo IM on the iPhone is a great tool, but I would suggest avoiding it for enterprise purposes. Like any of the free messaging programs out there it has loopholes and security issues that can be exploited.

Hacker-produced worms have been running rampant in both microblogging and instant messaging programs in recent years and recent days. That is one of the reasons that Brosix Enterprise Messaging offers a great portable product and one of the reasons that I recommend using it over Yahoo IM or the other clients out there.

Brosix has only been around since 2006 and they have built a wonderful product in just a few short years. I recommend checking it out at http://www.brosix.com!
