Exclamation Yahoo Messenger Chat Problem


HI GUYS,

I recently got Yahoo Messenger for Linux.
Though the interface is really good......, but where the 'Chat' option??

I cant see it anywhere.This means that we can only talk to peeps already in our friend list.
This is a big hole!!

Is there any Program through which i can use Yahoo Messenger??

Please Help!!
