Hello guys!

Can you help me with some links to good tutorials that will help me understand how to create a system that will be able to send/receive messages from IM servers like yahoo messenger in a similar way as http://www.meebo.com does.

Maybe my eprimation is weird :lol: but what i'm tryig to say is that i'm not interested in tutorials that will teach me about how to make a messaging system, i know that, but how my system can comunicate with anoter IM server like Yahoo Messenger.

Basically i'm trying to send/receive messages from within a page to/from a Yahoo Messenger user.


Thanks!
Cristian

I am not anywhere near certain how to do what you want, but I would guess it will have something to do with the communication protocol used by IM agents.

well, actually I did. I foud their developer page: http://developer.yahoo.com/messenger/ where they offer valuable developing dirrections about how to interact with their servers for Yahoo Answers, Yahoo Maps, Yahoo Search etc. Very well documented and with valuable instructions for most programming languages but at the yahoo messenger section you only get information about how to programm plugins wich is not what i'm looking for.
