O.P. Huh?  MsnMessenger&Yahoo trying to be the same?
Well I have a felling that yahoo and msn is swaping ideas for each others im service cause.

1.When yahoo released 6.0 it had newly added Display pictures.
2.After a few months of yahoo 6.0 being out msn got a Listen to Music tab(Unlike yahoo they did not intergrate it tho)
3.Yahoo also released talking emoticon things wich now in the future release of Msn Messenger 7.0 they are bringing out winks almsot exactly the same thing as yahoo's talking emos.
5.The very attention getting feature in yahoo is the  buzz feature it's now being brought to msn in the new release as a nudge.(thanks Sean)
6.Msn Is now allowing you to sign in as  offline like yahoo messenger(thanks coobydoo)
7.Msn added a serch bar to the new msn just like in yahoo 6.0(thanks gerado)
8.Msn has changed the prefrences menu for the new release and it now looks like yahoos prefrences menu(thanks jren)

Whats next you will be able to change your nickname in yahoo like in msn messenger :D that would be really awesome but anyways how do you all fell on this.

Thanks for your time,
   The Don

P.s Know anything else they share please post so i can add to my list :D

I agree, when i had yahoo installed it made me think of msn messenger. Now that msn messenger looks like yahoo, i think they're just doing it for competition. Why cnat they just think of their own ideas? I think MSN messenger and yahoo could have thought of some ideas which dont relate to each other.
