Press Release Body: No longer will users have to email or IM web links back and
forth. The free plug-in provides end-users with the ability to simultaneously view

"WebEx is always looking for new ways to enable people to collaborate and embrace
the Web 2.0 revolution. With the WebEx co-browsing plug-in, we are extending that

said Kiran Datar, MD, WebEx Communications India. "The addition expands Yahoo
Messenger's selection of customizable conversation plug-ins, while introducing a new
user base to the WebEx brand and on-demand collaboration solutions."



With the introduction of plug-ins, Yahoo! Messenger opened up its platform for
third party developers to create add-on applications to further personalize the
end-user's experience. WebEx developed the co-browsing plug-in to enable Yahoo!
Messengers' tens of millions of users worldwide to easily interact during their
live web searches and collaborate in real time
