Yahoo! Messenger Plug-in SDKThe Messenger Plug-in SDK is a JavaScript and C++ API that you use to create add-ons with collaborative features that can run inside Yahoo! Messenger. Plug-ins run in the main Messenger window, or as part of an IM conversation. Yahoo! users can download Plug-ins from the Yahoo! Messenger Plug-in Gallery. Create plug-ins that are as simple as an HTML web page, or as sophisticated as a map collaboration tool that uses ActiveX, Flash, DHTML, AJAX or any other browser-based technology. With the Messenger Plug-in SDK APIs, you can create exciting and helpful collaborative Plug-ins and make them available to anyone through the Messenger Network with over 60 million users.
This page provides an overview to Yahoo! Messenger Plugpin SDK and the resources available to you as a Yahoo! Messenger Plug-in developer.
