I've been happily using an AIM ID and now the pre-Alpha LJ chat facility via their Jabber client. I'm using the GAIM client.

It now transpires my mother has a Yahoo chat account, which my brother set up to use for her. I'm generally not thrilled with the whole Yahoo interface/ID et cetera. Does anyone here have good, or bad, experiences with it?

In particular, do you know offhand whether I can add it to my GAIM client, rather than using a separate client?

(I'm not going to ask Mom to add an AIM ID; if this looks unappealing, we'll stick to email and the telephone.)

Addendum: I dug out my Yahoo ID, downloaded Yahoo Messenger, used it long enough to add my mother's userid there, and made contact through GAIM. Mom said Hello, expressed surprise that it had worked, and went to bed (time zone differences).
