How Can I Select My Photos to Share on Yahoo Messenger?
Yahoo! Messenger has the ability to initiate a photo sharing session while you chat with a friend or family member. During a photo sharing session, the pictures that you select are displayed for the person you continue to chat with them. This feature can be used to share vacation photos, or to have a time-sensitive business meeting with a client or co-worker. Initiate a photo sharing session on Yahoo! Messenger to share photos with your friends.
