As the title suggests a long time friend wants me to get Yahoo messenger so we can chat easily, I don't know anything about it, is it safe.

Any advice is most welcome.

It is fairly safe but being a public chat you will get " friend requests". U have option to accept. Decline or block. Im not sure if u have to have yahoo email or not. Facebook is similiar. You can text..sms ..video or voice including international for free. My son said fb u cant send files so he got skype. Hope my limited knowledge helps.

I use fb to keep up with family, work, and school chums. It has its drawbacks as all social media does. I have never twittered or pinterested.
