Here’re neat tricks that you can play around with yahoo messenger.

Fool your friends into thinking that you haven’t been using your messenger for a long time by keying-in the following characters after your usual status message. This will trigger the “Idle” text even though you are active with messenger.

[Your status message] 472

Make sure there’s a space before the code À€47À€2

Example:
Dyslexics of the world untie 472


To activate the Music Icon in YM and make it seem that you are listening to some song, type the following in status creation:

[songname] 1872

Example:

Jeff Buckley – Last Goodbye À€187À€2

Cool ey?
