Yahoo has killed off their web chat ambitions, we’ve heard. The six person team that was working on the unlaunched myM service are now working on the webmail product.
Chris Szeto, the director of product management for Yahoo Messenger, oversaw the project but has since moved on to join Sequoia-backed Meebo. From what we hear, myM was going to basically be a Meebo clone. But the team has dispersed, and the software has been shelved indefinitely.
It joins the deadpool. For posterity, we’d love to see a screen shot of what the service looked like. If you were a beta tester and have one, please email it to us (editor at techcrunch).
On the one hand, it seems like a natural fit for Yahoo. I’d say they could purchase Meebo, but then with the Microsoft offer for Yahoo, that probably doesn’t make sense for anyone.
Too bad about My M. It was a stupid name, anyway.
