If you can’t beat them join ’em. It’s clearly the case now for those trying to topple Facebook and its many services. Google wasn’t able to go ahead of the popular social network with Google+ so don’t expect Yahoo to do the same. Well, Yahoo doesn’t have anything now to directly rival Facebook nor the Facebook Messenger so the company decided to just integrate one of its important services into the Messenger.
Yahoo brings some of its bots to the instant messaging app so regular FB users can directly be provided with the correct information. Starting today, you can enjoy Yahoo News, Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Weather, and even your Monkey Pet right on the Facebook Messenger on your Android phone. You don’t have to switch to the Yahoo app because data will be sent to your Facebook inbox.
Send a Message to those four Yahoo bots. Know the latest on the stock market and finance by simply asking Yahoo Finance (@YahooFinance). Be in-the-know with Yahoo News (@YahooNews) and know the weather by asking Yahoo Weather (@YahooWeather). When you’re bored, Monkey Pet (@MonkeyPet) will give you a good laugh. This virtual pet needs some love so go on and send a lot of emojis.
These Yahoo bots will be quick to reply to your queries. You can even name your MonkeyPet. It’s a virtual pet that you need to take care of so don’t be content with just chatting. Update your Facebook Messenger to the latest version and search for the four bots we mentioned.
