How does everyone feel about using Yahoo Instant Messenger for trade talks, conference calls, etc for this league?
It'd probably help all those aspects of the league a whole lot, especially trade talks. In previous seasons, most of us just relied on Yahoo's trading system and an occasional email or note to go along w/ that. But I find that method rather limiting and difficult on negotiations. It's always easier, faster and more thorough to be able to chat a little using IM for trade talks, if nothing else. Obviously, everyone can't be expected to keep themselves signed onto YIM all day long, everyday -- well, I'm on it a whole lot these days anyway
-- but since we use Yahoo for FBB, you can easily see who is on YIM and who's not just by checking the Yahoo FBB league page. That would help us a bit. And of course, you can always ask your potential trade partner to meet up on YIM as needed.
Anyway, just a suggestion to help improve league activity, especially for trade talks, as that was one problem we had in 2005.
