Thanks to ZBiotics for sponsoring todayโ€™s video! ~ Hello Darkness my Old Friend...and by that, I mean Hello Yahoo! Chat my old friend. You see, back in the 90s, Yahoo Chat sprang onto the scene, and it caused quite a commotion. For many, this was their first introduction to the world of chat rooms, and finding yourself suddenly in one was quite an experience. So we're going to take a dive into Yahoo!, Yahoo Chat, Yahoo Pager and, of course, Yahoo Pager to see just what those glory chat days held, and that sadly, includes much of the horror that it included. https://nnerd.es/discord #chatrooms #internet #yahoo โŒšTimingsโŒš 00:00-02:49 Introduction 02:49-04:11 ZBiotics 04:11-09:46 Yahoo!
